Ferrero in the GCC Region

Ferrero in the GCC

Ferrero began its story in the little town of Alba in Piedmont, Italy, in 1946.

Almost seven decades later, in 2015, a regional business unit for Ferrero was set up for the GCC in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

Today, while Ferrero’s regional GCC headquarters are based in Dubai, the company also has offices in Kuwait and in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. In addition, the organization has grown from 12 employees in 2015 to over 400 in 2022.

Over the years, at Ferrero Gulf, we have remained unwaveringly committed to providing our consumers with high-quality products from brands such as Nutella, Kinder, Ferrero Rocher, Raffaello and Tic Tac.

In addition, as part of our plan to lay the groundwork for business success in the region, we at Ferrero have since 2018 created a number of joint ventures (JV) in key GCC markets. Ferrero’s first-ever JV in the Gulf was with Al Seer Group in Dubai & and Northern Emirates. A year later, the company partnered up with Al Bustan Al Khaleej (BK) in Kuwait.

In the beginning of 2022, in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, we formed a JV agreement with Ismail Abudawood Trading Company.

Ferrero began its journey in the small town of Alba in Piedmont, Italy, in 1946. Today, it is one of the world’s largest sweet-packaged food companies, with over 35 iconic brands sold in more than 170 countries. The Ferrero Group brings joy to people around the world with much-loved treats and snacks, including Nutella®, Kinder®, Tic Tac® and Ferrero Rocher®. More than 47,000 employees are passionate about helping people celebrate life's special moments. The Ferrero Group’s family culture, now in its third generation, is based on dedication to quality and excellence, heritage, and a commitment to the planet and communities in which we operate.
