Furlotti&C has closed the 2013 positively, the turnover rose +4.7% versus 2012, and the turnover achieved the 27 milions of euro: the company is in good health, as evidenced by the continued growth of net sales in the mass market and the entry in the  channel Ho.re.Ca, both on the national market and abroad (this year the percentage of export sales achieves the 23% of the total) .

The company confirmed itself as one of the leading national manufacturers of bacon in cubes and not only: as well as copacker for the greatest Italian and foreign retail chains for their “private label ” (the Private Label represents 60 % of the sales) , boasts two own brands , which are also well established in the landscape of distribution ” I Cubotti ” and “Gli Sfrigolosi”.

The Italian consumer considers the quality of Private Label as good as or better than national brands, shoppers buy – and will continue to buy – more and more. According to the latest Nielsen study, the Private Label has exceeded 9.7 billion Euros in the food grocery (increasing +2,7% versus 2012). Good goal when you consider the contraction of domestic consumption, and even better when compared to the decline of national brand, in the last five years has seen its market share fall 30-25 percent.

In 2013, the Italian food grocery has lost about two billion euro, and the store brand has continued to grow beyond the 18%: the road to reach the European target (30%) is still long, but surely the Private Label is one of the main catalysts driving the food grocery: +37% of Italians shoppers have increased the purchase of these products and we expect further growth!
