Description
In this episode of Family Business Stories with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna explore how the Ferrero family built a global confectionery empire from a single pastry shop in Alba, Italy. Focusing on the company's fiercely private ownership structure and refusal to go public, they unpack the strategic decisions behind Nutella, Kinder, and Tic Tac. Learn how third-generation CEO Giovanni Ferrero navigated succession after his brother's tragic death, and why the family chose a Luxembourg holding company to shield its $35 billion business. No ads, just the real story of sugar, hazelnuts, and secrecy.
