La Doria closes a very positive 2025: turnover grows to Euro 1.375 billion, an increase of 7.7% compared to 2024, both on international markets (+4.5%) and the domestic market (+24.4%). With excellent performance for the 'Sauces Line' and strong expansion of the 'Pasta Line'. The shareholders' meeting of La Doria S.p.A. - a leading European group in the supply of Italian private label specialities including tomato, ready-made sauces, pulses and pasta - presented the Consolidated Financial Statements as at 31 December 2025. The year in which (as of 19 September) La Doria became part, with the American Winland Foods, of Windoria, a new name approved by the Board of Directors of LDW Investment Top Holding, an investment company indirectly controlled by affiliated funds managed or advised by Investindustrial, a major European investment group. Doria and Winland are now part of a $4 billion turnover group with 28 production sites and 5,000 employees.
In an international environment characterised by geopolitical uncertainties, cost pressures, falling sales prices and particularly intense competitive dynamics in the private label segment, the Group reported revenues of €1.375 billion, up 7.7% from €1.277 billion in 2024. Growth was supported by both the positive sales trend and the contribution of completed extraordinary transactions. In fact, the Group completed two strategic acquisitions: Pasta Lensi S.r.l., a historic Italian company specialising in the production of pasta, and the production and logistics activities of Feger di Gerardo Ferraioli S.p.A. and Sapori del Sole S.r.l., now Fegé and Fegé Logistica. These operations have helped to expand the group's product portfolio, strengthening its presence in the pasta and tomato derivatives segments and enabling it to enhance its organic and gluten-free product offering.
"In 2025, the integration of the newly acquired companies was a priority for La Doria, with a view to streamlining production sites, developing synergies and optimising the group's industrial set-up. The operations completed in recent years have broadened our industrial base and enriched our product range, enabling us to strengthen our positioning in our reference markets. In a still complex scenario, the results achieved confirm the solidity of our industrial model, based on production quality, operational efficiency, and a consolidated relationship with customers, stakeholders, and the territory,' comments Antonio Ferraioli, President and CEO of La Doria.
Analysing the breakdown of turnover by product category, then, it can be stated that there was an excellent performance of the "Sauces Line" (+17.9% compared to 2024) and a net growth in the "Pasta Line", mainly attributable to the full contribution of the companies acquired in 2024: Clas S.p.A. and the private label business unit of Pastificio Di Martino, later renamed La Doria Pasta PL, both merged into La Doria S.p.A. with effect from 31 December 2025. The 'Linea Pasta' also benefited from the entry of Pasta Lensi into the group's perimeter in 2025.
The 'Tomato Derivatives Line' showed good growth (+4.1%), favoured by the increase in volumes linked to the higher production achieved during the 2024 processing campaign. The 'Pulses, vegetables and canned pasta line' showed a substantially stable trend, while the 'Fruit juices and beverages line' declined by 9.1%, in line with the contraction in consumption observed in the Italia market.
