FERRERO FINDIK ITHALAT IHRACAT VE TICARET ANONIM SIRKETI.

Company Introduction:

FERRERO FINDIK ITHALAT IHRACAT VE TICARET ANONIM SIRKETI is the Turkish entity of the Ferrero Group, a globally renowned Italian manufacturer of confectionery products. This company is central to Ferrero's global operations, specifically managing the sourcing, procurement, and supply chain of hazelnuts from Turkey. As Turkey is the world's largest producer of hazelnuts, a vital ingredient for many of Ferrero's popular brands such as Nutella, Ferrero Rocher, and Kinder products, this Turkish subsidiary plays a critical role in ensuring a consistent and high-quality supply of this key raw material for Ferrero's worldwide production. The company engages in extensive activities including direct purchasing from hazelnut farmers, quality control, initial processing (like shelling and roasting), and logistics for the export of hazelnuts.

Classification:

It is primarily a trader and sourcing company. While Ferrero has significant investments in hazelnut processing facilities in Turkey (e.g., through its acquisition of Oltan Gıda), FERRERO FINDIK ITHALAT IHRACAT VE TICARET ANONIM SIRKETI specifically functions as the import, export, and trading arm. Its core business involves managing the commercial aspects of the hazelnut supply chain, from sourcing raw hazelnuts to exporting them to Ferrero's manufacturing plants globally. It acts as a major commercial hub and supply chain manager rather than a final product manufacturing factory.
