Ferrero's CEO Giovanni Ferrero, grandson of the founder, announced he would become executive chairman from 1 September 2017 and hand the CEO role to Lapo Civiletti, the first non-family chief executive.

Ferrero International S.A. approved its consolidated accounts for the year to 31 August 2021: turnover of EUR 12.7 billion, up 3.4% from EUR 12.3 billion, with 38,767 staff and 32 plants.

Federal judicial police and AFSCA agents carried out six searches at Ferrero sites in Arlon and Brussels and at its Niederanven headquarters in Luxembourg, seizing documents and computer equipment.

Ferrero's turnover rose 10.4% to EUR 14 billion in the year to 31 August 2022, with growth led by the USA and Italy and the FULFIL Nutrition bar maker bought in June 2022.

Ferrero's turnover jumped 20.7% to EUR 17 billion in the year to 31 August 2023, boosted by the Wells Enterprises ice-cream deal; plants rose from 32 to 37 and staff to 47,212.

Ferrero's turnover rose 8.9% to EUR 18.4 billion in the year to 31 August 2024, the year Nutella Ice Cream launched; capital investment grew 18% to EUR 958 million.

Ferrero's turnover rose 4.6% to EUR 19.3 billion in the year to 31 August 2025, with capital investment of close to EUR 1.1 billion and the WK Kellogg Co cereal deal closing just after year-end.

Ferrero split its top job: Alessandro Nervegna will run the core confectionery, biscuits and better-for-you business, while CEO Lapo Civiletti moves to lead Ferrero Ice Cream and WK Kellogg Co from 1 September 2026.

Ferrero's new structure took effect: Alessandro Nervegna became CEO of Ferrero Core and Lapo Civiletti, CEO since 2017, became President of Ferrero Ice Cream and WK Kellogg Co, both reporting to Giovanni Ferrero.

Ferrero's consolidated accounts for the year to 31 August 2026, the first full year to include WK Kellogg Co's US cereal business, are expected in mid-February 2027.
