Sephra announces an exclusive partnership with Ferrero brining innovative Nutella® Dispensers to the Uk & Ireland market
Leading global name in the dessert equipment and ingredient industry, Sephra, has announced an exciting landmark partnership with Ferrero which will see it bring Nutella® Dispensers to the UK & Irish market.

Having grown from solely distributing chocolate fountains in 2003, the business, which operates out of both the UK, and the US, has successfully evolved to offer an ever-expanding array of professional dessert equipment and ingredients. Having now secured exclusive rights to supply Ferrero Nutella® Dispensers across the UK and Ireland, it is looking forward to seeing these innovative dispensers, designed in the iconic shape of a Nutella® jar, become essential tools for hotel buffets, bakers, dessert parlours, and more.

Available in both electric and manual versions, the innovative dispensers have been developed to allow users and operators a new and versatile way to incorporate a touch of Nutella® into their dishes. With the ability to warm Nutella, the dispensers ensure the perfect fluidity for filling, coating, and topping a variety of pastries and desserts. Servings are conveniently dispensed in a 15g size, ensuring consistent portion sizes, and reducing waste.

Other key features and benefits include the hygienic design. With no direct contact with Nutella®, the dispensers are easy to clean and maintain. User-Friendly, those using the Nutella® Dispensers just need to simply insert the 1kg Nutella® Cartridge, wait for the dispenser to reach optimal temperature, and press a button to serve. Each 1kg Nutella® Cartridge provides approximately 66 servings, ideal for high-volume use in professional kitchens and dessert parlours. Operators will save money too, with a saving of up to 50% with the 1kg Nutella® Cartridge versus conventional Nutella® jars.

Commenting on the exclusive Ferrero deal, David Archer, Managing Director of Sephra Europe Ltd, said: "Sephra is excited to bring this product to market for Ferrero. As a key food and ingredient supplier to bakeries, hotels, cafes and dessert parlours, Sephra is perfectly positioned to support operators. Both machines and the cartridges are available through our website, www.sephra.com, and can be ordered for next-day delivery in mainland UK."

Zareen Deboo, Foodservice Channel Operators Manager, Ferrero UK & Ireland said: “Shaped like our iconic jars, our dispensers give operators a new way to drive those impulse purchases while consumers are out-of-home, and benefit from the big brand power of the Nutella® name. We know that customers will pay more for the delicious taste of a well-known brand like Nutella®, so with our innovative new products, we can help operators boost their business and appeal to consumer demand!

Sephra’s trading division, CFW, is also a leading player in the industry. Across both Sephra and CFW websites, customers can find a wide range of confectionery equipment, including Waffle Makers, Bakery Mixes, Chocolate and more. Alongside this, they will find big brand names such as Nutella®, Nestlé, Callebaut and Dawn Foods.

Launched in the USA in 2003, Sephra introduced groundbreaking innovations in chocolate fountains, such as sanitation approval, which ensured that the highest standards of safety and hygiene were met.

In Europe, entrepreneur David Archer began renting out these chocolate fountains, which he modified and improved, recognizing the huge potential of the product. In 2008 he forged a partnership with the original Sephra in the USA, becoming a distributor and heralding the birth of Sephra Europe.

With David at the helm as Managing Director, Sephra Europe continues to flourish and evolve, from merely distributing chocolate fountains, to offering a huge array of delectable dessert products. Fuelled by an unwavering commitment to quality and a relentless pursuit of innovation, Sephra Europe captivated a broader audience, reaching another significant milestone in 2019 when Sephra Europe acquired the brand from the original Sephra in the USA. This acquisition allowed Sephra Europe to further solidify its status as a trailblazer in the industry.
