Consumers around the world want to be sure that the products they buy are of unparalleled quality. We pay the utmost attention to selecting the finest raw materials, developing cutting-edge production processes and investing in research into newer and better production formulae.
Innovation
Our consumers in both mature and growing economies are very sensitive to new experiences and concepts. We want to be the ones who pleasantly surprise them with new products, new flavours, new packaging and new product concepts that will help them enjoy “sweeter” moments in their lives. This is why we give paramount strategic importance to researching and developing new products.
Marketing
We place great importance on understanding the market and its trends in order to identify and anticipate consumer demands. We also want to remain in tune with consumers after they have bought our products. To do this, we regularly develop effective promotional tools, high-impact and eye-catching advertising campaigns and innovative digital experiences connected to our brands.

Respect for the environment, not only by complying with local laws and regulations but also through trying to minimise the impact of our operations, is a vital principle at Perfetti Van Melle. Improving the efficiency of our production processes to reduce waste, making the best use of natural resources and looking for environmentally-friendly options in our packaging choices and distribution strategies are key to executing this ideal.
