The acquisition of the French premium patisserie group, Mademoiselle Desserts, first announced in July, has been successfully completed by Swiss dairy company Emmi. This strategic move strengthens Emmi’s presence in the niche market of premium desserts, a product segment that now contributes 9% of Emmi’s total sales, with Mademoiselle Desserts representing approximately 17% of that share.
Mademoiselle Desserts operates 12 production sites across France, the UK, the Netherlands, and Belgium. In 2023, the bakery achieved annual sales of around EUR 420 million and employs roughly 2,000 people. Their premium products are sold both in retail—particularly in the in-store bakery sector—and within the food service industry.
“We are excited to officially join the Emmi Group, a significant player in the international dairy sector. This integration represents a pivotal moment for our company, opening doors to further growth and innovation. Together with Emmi Group’s operations in Italy and the United States, we are creating a true ‘Desserts Powerhouse.’ We look forward to collaborating closely to continue delivering high-quality, indulgent, and healthy products, while maintaining our mission of bringing the finest cakes and desserts to all. We begin this new chapter with enthusiasm, passion, and a deep commitment to excellence,” stated Mademoiselle Desserts in their acquisition announcement.
