Barilla

Barilla G. e R. Fratelli, simply known as Barilla, is an Italian multinational company in the food sector, operating in the market of dry pasta, ready sauces, baked goods, flour, and bread.

The company was founded in Parma in 1877 by Pietro Barilla. It experienced its first phase of significant growth in the 1950s when management passed to the third generation of the family. Within a few years, it became a leading company in the production and national market of pasta, made several acquisitions, and created new brands to differentiate its market (among the most well-known is Mulino Bianco). Starting from the late 1980s, it began a process of internationalization that continued throughout the following decade.

For 145 years, the company has been led by the Barilla family. In 2022, the Group recorded a turnover of 4.663 billion euros, with a net profit of 192 million euros.
