To be the Italian Group leader at international level in the production and distribution of excellences in frozen bakery and patisserie
A story starting in the hills of Asolo in 1985, thanks to the revolutionary idea of bringing frozen croissants throughout Italy through a dedicated sales network. Final consumers could thus appreciate the freshness and fragrance of fresh pastry baked directly on site. In July 2018, BC Partners, one of the leading managers of alternative investment funds, acquires the majority of Forno d'Asolo, with the goal of further enhancing the company's brand and industrial heritage at international level as well, as an excellence in the production of made in Italy bakery products.
