Valsoia has announced its financial results for the first nine months of 2026, showcasing a robust growth trajectory. The Italian plant-based company reported consolidated sales of 97.6 million euros, marking a 6.8% increase compared to the same period in 2025. This performance highlights the efficacy of the group’s international strategy, particularly in the plant-based and healthy food sectors.
Global expansion and strategic growth
International markets emerged as the primary growth engine for the group, with revenues soaring by 45.8% year-on-year. This success is largely attributed to the strategic acquisition of Krepko, a Slovenian leader in traditional kefir, alongside sustained organic growth in key foreign markets. The company remains committed to pursuing both internal development and potential external growth opportunities to bolster its global footprint.
Innovation and industrial investment
Despite a challenging macroeconomic environment, Valsoia continues to prioritize investment in brand communication, product innovation, and infrastructure. The company has officially completed the expansion of its production facility in Serravalle Sesia. This major industrial project is now entering the final start-up phases, with new lines for beverages, yogurt, and plant-based desserts expected to reach full capacity in the first half of 2027.
In the domestic market, the company maintained positive momentum with 1.8% growth. The successful performance of the Valsoia Bontà e Salute ice cream range, coupled with the launch of the innovative Valsoia-Kef—a 100% plant-based alternative to traditional kefir—underscores the group’s leadership in the Italian health-focused food industry. Furthermore, the renewal of the distribution agreement for the Vallé margarine brand until 2029 reinforces its stable presence in the retail landscape.
Looking ahead, the group maintains a cautious but confident outlook. While external factors such as raw material costs continue to fluctuate, Valsoia’s solid financial position and clear strategic focus on efficiency and market differentiation are set to support long-term value creation.
