history

The company Ebro Puleva was created in 2000 through a merger of Azucarera Ebro Agrícolas and Puleva .

The previous owner Südzucker sold Ebro Puleva at the beginning of 2004.

To improve its market position in France , Ebro Puleva acquired the pasta manufacturer Panzani in 2005 .

Ebro Puleva improved its position in the North American market in 2006 by acquiring the pasta producer New World Pasta for $ 362.5 million .

In Germany, Ebro Puleva strengthened its market position in the pasta market in 2007 by acquiring the market leader Birkel Teigwaren GmbH for 30 million euros. Birkel has a market share of 18% in the German noodle market.

Corporate headquarters ( Madrid ).

In 2008, Ebro Puleva sold its sugar division Azucarera Ebro to the British company Associated British Foods , the largest supplier there with a 50% market share in Spain, for 385 million euros. The deal was closed on December 16, 2008.

The French manufacturer Lactalis acquired the milk division Puleva Foods from Ebro Puleva in 2010 for 630 million euros. Ebro Puleva thus continued its slimming strategy on pasta and rice. In 2009, the division achieved sales of 444 million euros.

With the acquisition of the largest Australian rice producer Ricegrowers Ltd for 610 million AUS dollars , Ebro Foods wanted to strengthen its position in the rice market in 2011. The takeover was canceled due to the rejection of the Australian authorities and shareholders.

In the course of restructuring within the German companies in 2011, two locations at Birkel Teigwaren GmbH were closed and the administration relocated to Hamburg. The production remained in Mannheim . On January 1, 2014, Birkel Pasta was sold to the Italian manufacturer of pasta, baked goods and dairy products, Newlat Group.

In June 2014, Ebro Foods acquired 52% of the Italian food producer Pastificio Lucio Garofalo, SpA
