ARYZTA is investing approximately EUR 40 million in a new bun bakery in Portugal, a state-of-the-art facility that will be constructed near Lisbon. Construction is estimated to take two years, and the plant is expected to be commissioned in 2028. ARYZTA already operates a bun bakery in Spain. Together, the two facilities are expected to significantly optimize ARYZTA’s operations across the Iberian Peninsula, while also lowering its carbon footprint.

ARYZTA also announced that it reached its FY 2025 goals and is anticipating revenue growth and performance improvements in 2026, with production ramping up thanks to new lines in Germany, Malaysia and Switzerland. For 2025, ARYZTA expects to report low to mid-single digit organic growth, with EBITDA above EUR 305 million, according to an announcement.

ARYZTA is also in the process of implementing significant organisational changes, cost reductions as well as optimizing its fixed cost structure, it highlights.

ARYZTA AG Chairman and Interim CEO Urs Jordi commented: “We achieved a resilient performance in 2025. Over the past three months, management has taken focused actions on accelerating revenue growth, structural changes and cost reduction. These measures reposition the business to deliver further growth and improved performance in 2026. At the same time, we continue to invest selectively in growth, as evident in the new investment in Portugal, which reflects the company’s strong track record in meeting customer needs. Our focus remains on improving performance, generating cash and delivering on our commitment to return capital to shareholders, as laid out in our 2025-2028 mid-term plan.”
