Verona, May 15, 2025 – Olivieri 1882, the historic artisanal pastry workshop founded in 1882 in Arzignano (Vicenza), is opening a new chapter in its history thanks to joining the Bauli Group, which has acquired a majority stake in the company. A union founded on shared values: absolute quality, respect for tradition, and an international vision.
Led today by Nicola and Andrea Olivieri, the fifth generation of the family, Olivieri 1882 has over the years secured a prominent position in the production of high-end artisanal leavened products, establishing itself as a symbol of Italian elegance and taste innovation. Its artisanal soul, the production process certified by the University of Padua, which allows for managing high volumes without compromising product quality, and its digital culture make it a contemporary ambassador of Italian pastry-making to the world.
“Bauli’s entry into the capital of Olivieri 1882 represents a strategic choice and a vision,” comments Nicola Olivieri, CEO of Olivieri 1882. “We chose Bauli because they are a partner with an excellent research and development center and international organizational know-how, as well as being a historic entity and market leader. This combination provides us with a structure capable of taking Italian artisanal excellence to an even higher level, accelerating our global expansion path. We will continue to lead the company, in full consistency with the values and quality that have always distinguished us.”
The Bauli Group enters this journey with the goal of supporting Olivieri 1882 in an evolution that remains faithful to its essence.
“We are not here to change Olivieri 1882, but to support its growth with respect and a shared vision,” states Fabio Di Giammarco, CEO of the Bauli Group. “The meeting of these two Italian stories combines the solid organizational structure and cutting-edge R&D department of the Bauli Group with the vision and agility of one of the most dynamic brands in 'Made in Italy' pastry-making. Together, we want to bring the art of Italian pastry-making to the world, with industrial strength and an artisanal soul.”
Olivieri 1882 will continue to operate with full autonomy, maintaining the identity, team, and creative freedom that have determined its success.
