Barilla plans restructuring of Italian pasta manufacturing
Barilla is in advanced talks to sell three production sites in Italy as part of its strategy to consolidate operations into a new hub in Foggia. The company aims to improve logistics, sustainability, and efficiency by investing €100 million ($114.8m) in the region. This restructuring comes amid aggressive price competition due to economic pressures on household budgets. The planned sales include factories in Marcianise (to Pastificio Liguori), Ancona, and Bari (both to Molino Casillo). The new production hub is expected to be completed by 2030 and will support both domestic and international markets. Barilla's revenues slightly declined in 2025 but its pre-tax profits rose significantly. The company operates a total of 15 plants and mills across Italy, with additional sites overseas including North America, Europe, and Russia.
