Expansion momentum Fazer Group is actively expanding manufacturing capacity in Finland and Northern Europe, with large-scale investments and a new chocolate factory in Lahti, signaling ongoing capacity growth and the need for scalable supply chain and ERP/MES integrations.

Factory of the Future The selection of ITI Group for designing and implementing a new MES indicates a modernization push; this presents upsell opportunities for manufacturing software, analytics, quality systems, and integration services across the production ecosystem.

Product diversification New gurt drinks and plant-based offerings show Fazer expanding beyond traditional bakery into health and dairy-alternative segments, suggesting a need for packaging, co-packing, cold-chain logistics, and formulation/testing partnerships.

Tech stack readiness With a modern technology footprint including Snowplow, AWS, Salesforce, Shopify, Marketo, and Azure, Fazer is positioned for data-driven marketing, e-commerce optimization, and customer experience initiatives that can be strengthened with analytics, CRM, and cloud-based services.

Strategic partnerships Recent integrations and supplier collaborations (Aroma integration into Candy Unit; ITI consulting; major factory investments) create opportunities for ongoing technology services, process automation, and supply-chain optimization engagements across their expanded European footprint.
