Nestlé has announced a significant investment in Baci Perugina to further strengthen this iconic Italian chocolate brand on the world stage.
Nestlé will extend and modernise its factory in San Sisto commune and establish a new business unit to drive global growth for our Italian chocolate business. This includes investing in marketing to grow Baci Perugina sales abroad.
The Perugina company was founded in Perugia in 1907, and Baci Perugina, a foil-wrapped bonbon that contains a whole hazelnut, dates back to 1922. ‘Baci’ means ‘kiss’ in Italian, and each sweet contains a love note: the Italian way to say “I love you”.
Valeria Norreri, Nestlé Italy Confectionery IBU Manager said: “Baci Perugina has an exceptional legacy of tradition. Sales results of several countries confirm that the product has the potential to win in foreign markets. Now we have the opportunity to develop its value in international markets, relying on the Italian talent that combines the quality of know-how with passion and lifestyle. It’s more than just chocolate: we will tell the pleasure of surrounding with small things, gestures of love, and Italian-style flirting to create unforgettable moments made in Baci Perugina.”
