Ferrero International S.A

About

At Ferrero, we believe that bringing joy to people through delicious products is more than a business - it's a family tradition spanning three generations. Our journey began in 1946 when brothers Pietro and Giovanni Ferrero opened a small pastry shop in Alba, Italy. Pietro, known as 'the scientist' for his experimental approach to flavors, and Giovanni, the commercial visionary, built a foundation of innovation and quality that defines us today. Now in our third generation with over 47,000 employees worldwide, we've grown into one of the world's largest sweet-packaged food companies while keeping our family culture at the heart of everything we do.

We work collaboratively across borders, with offices and production facilities in over 50 countries, to craft products that celebrate life's special moments. Our culture values passion for quality, research, and innovation - attributes that have helped us create iconic brands like Nutella®, Kinder®, Ferrero Rocher®, and Tic Tac®. We are committed to caring for people and our planet, from responsibly sourcing ingredients like hazelnuts and cocoa to supporting the communities where we operate. At Ferrero, every employee plays a role in maintaining our legacy of excellence while embracing new challenges and opportunities in an evolving global market.
