From Italian tiramisu to French pâtisserie, American cheesecakes to British classics, Emmi Desserts brings together the world's major dessert cultures under one roof. As a dessert specialist, Emmi Desserts offers its customers an innovative premium dessert portfolio and works closely with its customers to further develop the category.

Emmi Desserts: 'Crafted to make you smile'

The purpose 'Crafted to make you smile' stands for dessert moments that captivate and the aspiration to make indulgence increasingly conscious.

Didier Boudy, EVP of Emmi Desserts, states: 'Our new identity marks an important milestone. With Emmi Desserts, we strive to play a pioneering role globally for the future of 'better for you' desserts through innovation and sustainability.'

Sustainability approach: Actively shaping the future of 'better for you' desserts

Sustainability and conscious indulgence are central to Emmi Desserts' global dessert strategy. Based on innovation and responsibility, Emmi Desserts continuously improves not only taste but also recipes, nutritional profiles, responsibly selected ingredients, and optimised packaging solutions, taking on a leading role in the industry.

Emmi Desserts intertwines enjoyment and conscious choices with 'better for you'. The products are developed and manufactured with care and responsibility – in harmony with the changing needs of consumers, respect for the planet, and a focus on long-term value creation. Inspired by B Corp certification and the nutritional charter of the Mademoiselle Desserts Group, Emmi Desserts gradually aligns its entire organisation with this leading sustainability standard and strengthens its commitment to responsible business practices. This includes a corporate culture based on safety, care, and respect for the Emmi Desserts teams.

Premium Desserts: A Strategic Growth Pillar of the Emmi Group

Premium desserts are one of the strategic growth platforms of the Emmi Group. Driven by the global megatrend of enjoyment and the increasing demand for high-quality and innovative desserts, the category represents an attractive, innovation-driven growth market. Over the past ten years, through targeted acquisitions and international expansion, Emmi has built up its expertise in premium desserts.

Emmi's journey into the dessert sector began in 2011 with the entry into the Italian premium dessert market. A significant milestone followed in 2020 with the acquisition of Indulge Desserts in the USA, commencing the expansion into the world's most dynamic dessert market. With the integration of the B Corp-certified Mademoiselle Desserts Group in 2024 and the supplementary acquisition of the B Corp-certified The English Cheesecake Company in 2025, Emmi reinforced its global presence and expanded its portfolio with innovative French and British dessert traditions, maintaining a strong focus on responsible corporate governance.

Building a Global Dessert Organisation

Today, Emmi Desserts operates a network of 20 production sites across six countries: France, Italy, Belgium, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, and the USA. Around 3,600 employees serve customers from retail and gastronomy in more than 65 countries worldwide, offering an integrated one-stop shop solution. In 2025, Emmi Desserts contributed 17% to the Emmi Group's revenue.

With a unique premium portfolio - from classic dessert icons such as tiramisu, lava cakes, and cheesecakes to modern formats like mini-beignets, cake pops, and local hero products like flans, tres leches, and mille-feuilles - Emmi Desserts has created a robust growth platform across segments and channels. Thanks to its global presence, Emmi Desserts can anticipate trends early, accelerate innovation, and scale successful concepts to support its customers in developing the category.

Ricarda Demarmels, CEO of the Emmi Group: 'We are building Emmi Desserts on a clear commitment: traditional dessert craftsmanship with the utmost care and ambition. Our shared identity represents the aspiration to make premium desserts even better and lead them into the future: uncompromising quality, bold innovations, and responsibility throughout the entire value chain. I thank our teams, who make this future possible and continue pushing the boundaries of what desserts can be every day.'
