Verona, 22 august 2024
A new brand architecture focused on the Bauli and Motta brands, with an investment of approximately 82 million euros for the development of new product lines, the innovation of production processes and the repositioning of the brand
The Bauli Group embarks on a new phase of its growth path and aims to achieve the ambitious goal of1 billion in turnover by 2030, through a clear strategy based on three directions: the diversification and innovation of product categories, sales channels and the strengthening of presence in key foreign markets.
To face the challenges of the bakery market, characterized by fragmentation and polarization of prices, the Bauli Group, with an investment in the two-year period 2024-25 of approximately 82 million euros,aunches the new brand architecture which is part of the three-way growth path and consists of a simplification of the structure.
At the center of this revolution the two iconic brands of the Group, Bauli and Motta, which will be the subject of a profound transformation and of arepositioning, following a portfolio strategy oriented towards the creation of value:
• Bauli, thanks to a high level of awareness and appreciation from consumers, will become the “group leader”, optimizing its offer and also including some iconic products such as Buondì and Girella. The DNA of the brand will be rebuilt around the concept of the sourdough starter, an ingredient that the company has cherished for more than 100 years and which is the basis of all its products.
• Motta will undergo a real repositioning: with its pastry expertise on some of the most iconic products in Italy, starting with the Panettone of Milan, will become the Group’s premium brand.
The entire transformation is based on a significant paradigm shift: the objective is to implement an approach increasingly focused on enhancing the value of the business through investments in process, product and talent innovations.
“We believe that through differentiation and the creation of value for the consumer, there is still room to grow both in Italy and abroad. Strengthened by our century-old expertise in the world of bakery, we look with enthusiasm at future objectives, making 360° innovation our main strategic lever to reach new consumer targets, on different consumption and purchasing occasions” – he statesFabio Di Giammarco, CEO of the Bauli Group.
The three development guidelines of the Group that guide the company towards future growth:

• new channels: we will invest more and more in the Out Of Home channel and in the expansion of the “Minuto Bauli” sales point network, which now has 13 locations and where it is possible to taste the freshly baked product.
