Dolfin is implementing a €20 million investment plan to reorganize and strengthen its production and logistics operations. The Sicilian confectionery company is focusing on expanding its industrial facilities, implementing new technological lines, and automating processes, aiming to sustain growth in Italy and abroad, where it generates approximately 35% of its revenue.
The program, announced on September 30, is part of a review of industrial operations initiated in recent years. Its focus is on reorganizing production flows and logistics, optimizing space, and introducing solutions capable of increasing efficiency, flexibility, and production capacity.
For Dolfin, which has been in business for over a century, the investment represents a long-term choice: to build a more integrated production system, capable of supporting commercial development and meeting the needs of diverse markets. The projects will involve both expanding the production and logistics areas and strengthening industrial infrastructure.
A key part of the plan will be dedicated to technological modernization and automation, which the company identifies as tools to maintain quality standards and improve operational efficiency. Research and development of internal skills complete a project that links plant development to strengthening competitiveness.
"Our history has taught us that innovation means having the courage to continually evolve, without losing our identity. This investment plan represents a long-term strategic choice that looks to the future of the company, its people, and the region," says Santi Finocchiaro, President of Dolfin Spa.
The industrial growth is also supported by the results of major brands, starting with Polaretti, which has expanded its presence in national and international markets over the years. To illustrate the volumes achieved, Dolfin uses an image: the products sold, if ideally arranged in a row, would circle the globe more than four times.
In the Easter egg segment, the company reports over 3 million pieces placed on the market and a weighted distribution of 85%, a figure that expresses the commercial weight of the stores where the products are present.
"We continue to invest in technology, expertise, and production capacity with the aim of further strengthening Dolfin's competitiveness on national and international markets," adds Finocchiaro.
The weight of foreign sales, accounting for approximately one-third of revenue, makes the production expansion also important for international development. The press release does not provide a timetable for the implementation of the projects or the distribution of the €20 million between expansions, infrastructure, and new lines, but it outlines a program aimed at strengthening the company's industrial base and its ability to sustain commercial expansion.
