Emmi strengthens its dessert network in Italy

20-Jun-2023 - Switzerland

Emmi is strengthening its business with innovative Italian dessert specialities and continuously expanding its position in this strategic niche. In addition to optimized production and logistics processes, Emmi increased production capacities and invested in an innovation center. The expanded production facility in Campogalliano is energy-efficient and supports Emmi on its targeted net-zero reduction path.

Emmi is strengthening its business with innovative Italian dessert specialities and further expanding its strategic pillar of chilled premium desserts. To this end, it optimized the production and logistics processes between the two subsidiaries Emmi Dessert Italia and Pasticceria Quadrifoglio. Emmi has also increased production capacity and built an innovation center for premium dessert specialties. The expanded, state-of-the-art production facility in Campogalliano is a showcase in terms of energy efficiency and supports Emmi on its targeted net-zero reduction path with a 2050 horizon.

"As part of our ongoing portfolio transformation, this investment strengthens our innovative power and competitiveness in what is for us a strategically important niche of high-quality, Italian dessert specialities such as Tiramisu or Sorbissimo, which are created by our creative 'pasticcere' with a great deal of passion for their craft and enjoyment," says Ricarda Demarmels, CEO of the Emmi Group.

Innovative premium desserts

The chilled premium desserts business has grown steadily in recent years. With an optimized production and logistics structure, synergies between the two Italian companies can be leveraged while at the same time increasing the focus on their core business and respective strengths.

Emmi Dessert Italia focuses on chilled premium desserts from Rachelli and Bontà Divina in the retail sector. Pasticceria Quadrifoglio, on the other hand, develops innovative creations for the food service sector that require a great deal of flexibility and craftsmanship. To this end, Emmi expanded production capacity at its existing site in Campogalliano, in particular with an innovation center. The innovative strength from the competence center is to be multiplied across Emmi's entire dessert network.

Energy-efficient production

The expanded, net-zero production facility is a showcase in terms of energy efficiency. The process heat required to produce dessert specialties is generated by a heat pump powered by electricity from the company's own photovoltaic system or purchased green electricity. In the process, a large part of the waste heat can be reused.
