The Autogrill SpA is an Italian company in the food service and trade focusing highways and airports, headquartered in Rozzano .
history
Autogrill goes back to the Pavesi company founded by Mario Pavesi in 1947, which ran motorway restaurants. In 1977 the Italian state holding Istituto per la Ricostruzione Industriale (IRI) merged the companies Motta, Pavesi and Alemagna to form Autogrill. In 1993, the expansion abroad began with the takeover of Les 4 Pentes in France 50% and Procace in Spain.
In 1995 Autogrill was privatized and the Benetton family became the majority owner . In 1997 the shares were first listed on the Italian stock exchange in Milan. In 1997/98 the internationalization was continued with the acquisition of Sogerba (France), AC Restaurant (Belgium and Netherlands) and parts of Wienerwald (Germany and Austria). In 1999, the US restaurant operator Host Marriott Services was taken over and business activities were expanded into the USA. In 2001 the move to Switzerland took place with the takeover of the Passenger Holding AG. In 2002 Receco in Spain and SMSI Travel Centers Inc in the United States joined the portfolio.
In 2003, Anton Airfood, which specializes in restaurants, was taken over in the United States. In 2005 Autogrill acquired 50% of Aldeasa, Spain's largest operator of airport catering and duty-free shops, as well as 49.9% of the Steigenberger gastronomy operating at Frankfurt am Main Airport . In 2006 the company moved to Canada with the acquisition of the airport catering business from Cara. In 2007, with the acquisition of the Alpha Group, the company entered the airline catering sector for a short time; these activities were discontinued in 2010.
In 2008, the existing service stations of Tank & Rast , AXXE (formerly Metro AG , now Tank & Rast) and privately on the German motorways were taken over. In 2009, motorway service areas were opened in western Austria and Slovenia and managed by Autogrill Schweiz AG.
