Rachelli has operations in “more than a dozen countries”, Emmi said. It produces ice cream, frozen desserts and chilled products, such as tiramassu.
The company emphasised there is a “great deal of crossover” between Rachelli and the firm’s A-27 business, which Emmi acquired in 2011. Emmi said it plans to “unlock synergies” and increase distribution power. However, Rachelli will continue to operate largely on a stand-alone basis.
