About Nutella®
Nutella® was created in 1964 thanks to Mr. Michele Ferrero; it was based on the recipe for Giandujot developed in 1946 by his father, Pietro Ferrero – confectioner and founder of Ferrero – in Italy's Piedmont area. Nowadays, the popular hazelnut spread with cocoa is available in over 170 countries worldwide.
About Ferrero
Founded as a family business in Alba, Italy in 1946, Ferrero is the third-largest company in the global chocolate confectionery market, with global sales of over $12 billion, distribution across over 170 countries, and a workforce of more than 30,000 people across 55 countries.
Ferrero entered the U.S. in 1969 with Tic Tac® mints, which have become an icon in the mints market, and subsequently introduced Ferrero Rocher® fine hazelnut chocolates, and Nutella® hazelnut spread to the U.S. market. Last year Ferrero introduced American consumers to the Kinder® brand through Kinder Joy®, a plastic egg-shaped package that is comprised of two separately sealed halves, one half contains a delicious treat and the other half contains an exciting surprise toy.
Now the third-largest U.S. confectionery company, Ferrero recently acquired U.S. chocolate company Fannie May Confections Brands, which through its Fannie May® and Harry London® brands provide offerings across key categories including chocolate bars, pralines and other snacks.
Through recent acquisitions completed by the Ferrero Group and its related companies in 2017 and 2018, respectively, Ferrara Candy Company, a leader in gummy and seasonal confectionery with brands such as Trolli®, Brach's® and Black Forest®; and the Nestle USA confectionery business with over 20 iconic American chocolate and sugar brands from Nestlé, including Butterfinger®, BabyRuth®, 100Grand®, Raisinets®, Wonka,® SweeTarts®, LaffyTaffy®, and Nerds®, have found a home amongst the historic and quality brands of Ferrero.
