The Italian company (annual sales €2.2bn) may even link up with other firms established in the fastfood business and specialised retail shops, among them Italian Autogrill and German Kamps, according to Italian business daily Il Sole 24 Ore today [Thursday].
Another project is believed to involve equipping already established restaurants with new material for faster cooking of pasta products in possible partnership with Italian Zanussi.
Barilla’s development plans may also involve distributing non-Barilla Italian products to markets with high potential for typical Italian cuisine such as the US, Europe and Japan.
