Global reach and opportunities
Our company was founded upon an ingenious solution to a common problem, the shortage of cocoa after the war. And while our history stems from an innovative idea, our future is driven by growth and modernity. From a northern Italian town to Europe and beyond, Ferrero has grown to reach 5 continents with a corporate headquarters in Luxemburg, and a portfolio of iconic brands that are loved by generations and distributed in 170 countries around the world.

Worldwide expansion
Our heritage values allow us to approach the contemporary global marketplace with a local twist. To do this, we localise top-level objectives by entrusting our local teams with curating our brands in a way that is locally relevant. This means each country in our extended Ferrero family keeps its local flavour and expresses its unique identity while maintaining the underlying culture and spirit of Ferrero. Today, given the power of our glocal approach, we are actively pursuing new growth opportunities to realise our potential all over the world.
