Sign up for this FREE SESSION. We will discuss together a Case-study, EUROPASTRY: Designing the international strategy. We will be joined by Mr. Ramón Núñez, Board Member at Europastry to draw conclusions and learn about their current situation.

Europastry was the leader in the Spanish and Portuguese markets of frozen part-baked dough for bread and pastry. After growing between 1996 and 2008 at an average yearly rate of 15%, market growth fell to a 2,2% average rate since 2008 due to market maturation. Europastry defined internationalization as a strategic priority, exploring different opportunities. The efforts so far had taken the international sales to 12% of the total, but the company thought it was necessary to rise it further to 25% or 30%. In January 2012, the opportunity to acquire Panibel arises, a Belgian manufacturer, with good industrial facilities, and Europastry’s management must decide whether to present an offer or not. This decision requires a thorough definition of the company’s internationalization strategy.
