Ferrero Sees Italian Sales Increase, Driven By Nutella, Kinder
Confectionery giant Ferrero’s Commerciale Italia division, which is responsible for sales and distribution in the business’ home market of Italy, saw sales rise 6.7% to €1.7 billion in the year to 31 August 2023, driven by strong demand for products such as Nutella and Kinder.

At a global level, Ferrero generates sales of more than €14 billion per year.
