FERRERO IBÉRICA S.A

What FERRERO IBÉRICA S.A does

Ferrero Ibérica S.A. is the Iberian Peninsula operating subsidiary of Ferrero Group (Gruppo Ferrero), an Italian family-owned multinational confectionery company founded in Alba in 1946. Established in 1988 with its first corporate headquarters in Barcelona, the entity today employs approximately 200 people across two operational offices in Cornellá de Llobregat (Barcelona, Spain) and Lisbon (Portugal), and serves the Spanish and Portuguese consumer markets. Its core activity is the marketing and distribution of Ferrero Group's iconic branded confectionery portfolio — including Nutella (chocolate-hazelnut spread), the Kinder family (Kinder Chocolate, Kinder Surprise, Kinder Bueno), premium chocolates (Ferrero Rocher, Raffaello, Mon Chéri, Pocket Coffee, Ferrero Collection, Ferrero Prestige, Tabletas Ferrero) and Helados Ferrero (ice cream) — through retail and wholesale channels.

The business model is direct-to-consumer packaged goods distribution: revenue is generated through one-time product sales of branded confectionery and snacks via physical retail storefronts across Spain and Portugal, with supporting brand-building activity across Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, and YouTube, plus community programs such as the Kinder Joy of moving Experience aimed at children aged 5-12. Pricing is set through standard retail/consumer-goods channels and is not publicly disclosed. The company operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary of a privately held family group, with no public listing, no external funding rounds, and no disclosed revenue figure; all intellectual property resides in the trademarks of the parent group's brand portfolio.
