The Emmi Group is launching ‘Emmi Desserts’ as the unified name for its global dessert business and establishing ‘better for you’ desserts as its strategic core – premium desserts that are responsibly crafted with clean recipes, simple ingredients and sustainable packaging. The new brand identity combines local dessert traditions and translates them into innovative concepts for its partners around the globe.
The new identity brings together all dessert businesses of the Emmi Group under one identity while reflecting their individual heritage and maintaining the authenticity of each dessert tradition. From Italian Tiramisu and French pâtisserie to American Cheesecakes and British bakery classics, Emmi Desserts brings together iconic dessert cultures.
Didier Boudy, EVP of Emmi Desserts, explains: “Our new identity marks an important milestone. With Emmi Desserts, we aim to establish ourselves as the partner of choice, pioneering the future of ‘better for you’ desserts around the world through innovation and sustainability.“
Sustainability approach
Sustainability and conscious indulgence are key to Emmi Desserts’ global dessert strategy, the company highlights. The company works on improving not only taste, but also recipes, nutritional profiles, responsibly sourced ingredients as well as optimized packaging solutions.
Inspired by the B Corp certification and the nutritional charter of the Mademoiselle Desserts Group, Emmi Desserts will pursue the ambition of progressively aligning its entire organization with these leading sustainability standards.
Over the past decade, Emmi has built its premium desserts expertise through targeted acquisitions and international expansion. Today, Emmi Desserts operates a network of 20 production sites in France, Italy, Belgium, the Netherlands, the UK and the US. Around 3,600 employees serve retail and food service customers in more than 65 countries worldwide. Emmi Desserts accounted for 17% of the Emmi Group’s sales in 2025.
Its portfolio ranges from classic dessert specialties such as tiramisu, lava cakes and cheesecakes to modern formats like mini-beignets, cake pops and local hero products such as flans, tres leches and mille-feuille.
Ricarda Demarmels, CEO of the Emmi Group, says: “Emmi Desserts is built on something simple but powerful: bringing the craft and care of local dessert traditions to the world at scale. This new identity reflects our ambition to raise the standard of premium desserts. We aim to lead this category – through quality, innovation, and responsibility at our core. I’m grateful to our teams for building this future together and for pushing the boundaries of what desserts can be.”
