Europastry, founded in 1987, reported €1.50bn in sales in 2024, with a record investment in research and development. Recent acquisitions include DeWi Back Holding in Germany and De Groot Edelgebak in the Netherlands. Europastry has also made deals with US-based Dawn Foods and Spanish pizza business Casa Bona.
