Salov (Filippo Berio and Sagra) doubles EBITDA and increases volumes by 3%

Salov Group closed a good financial year 2025, confirming its position as a leading player, in Italy and abroad, where it has a very strong presence.

The company was founded in Lucca in 1919 and is based in nearby Massarosa. Filippo Berio dates back even further, to 1867, and is therefore approaching its 160th anniversary. Overall, the company reaches 75 countries and five continents, often positioning itself as a leader outside our own country too.

Slight decline in turnover, sharp rise in profitability

Turnover came close to 500 million euros (compared with 517,6 million last year), while profitability recorded significant growth, thanks to EBITDA of 21 million euros, more than double the previous financial year, reaching levels above the category average.

This indicator of financial strength, during 2025, saw sales volumes increase by 3%, now reaching 100 million litres, compared with 97 million in 2024.

Controlled by the international group Brigh Food since 2014 (the equivalent of 17,6 billion dollars in revenue in 2025), the Tuscan group has shown that it knows how to tackle global geopolitical challenges and the market context, characterised by growing pressure on energy and raw material costs, while managing to contain the impact of the sharp decline in extra virgin olive oil prices.

The company also decided to award a bonus of 500 gross to every employee, at all its sites worldwide, in recognition of its people’s commitment and to share the value generated by the company.

Salov, exports in 70%

The revenue analysis confirms its export vocation: sales abroad account for approximately 70% of revenue.

The first international market remains the US, which, needless to say, was affected by the difficulties linked to the contraction in margins following the introduction of tariffs; despite this, volumes have consolidated.

The English market – second in terms of revenue – saw its growth trends consolidate, with revenue increasing by 5% compared with 2024.

Filippo Berio – Sagra is reserved for Italian customers – also recorded significant growth in Asia, particularly in India, where a major commercial development drive was launched, and in South America, demonstrating that the free-trade agreements signed by our Government effectively support the potential of Italian-made products worldwide.

Other highly significant markets for Salov are Russia, Belgium, Brazil, Switzerland…
