The Italian group announced that the ICFC factory, acquired by Ferrero in 2021, is now fully integrated into the group’s global ecosystem and will play a crucial role in the development and expansion of Ferrero’s ice cream portfolio throughout Europe.
This decision is part of a “long-term plan” designed to consolidate the company’s growth in this segment, leveraging the industrial and human potential of the region.
To achieve this, Ferrero has approved an investment of 140 million euros as part of a modernization cycle focused on technological and industrial improvements at the factory.
With this investment, the company will expand the factory’s capacity, modernize processes, and implement new technologies to enhance production quality, efficiency, and sustainability.
The transformation plan includes the installation of new production lines before 2030 and the development of new proprietary brand products, ensuring all these innovations will be manufactured in Alzira [Valencia] and distributed across Europe, reinforcing the factory’s role as a driver in Ferrero’s ice cream business expansion.
To enable this new phase and optimize production capacity, the company will permanently cease producing private label brands in Alzira by the end of 2026, though it will maintain regular product supply and honor existing agreements.
