Autogrill hospitality services

Autogrill is a renowned Italian brand specializing in food and beverage services for travelers. Originally founded in Italy in 1977 following the merger of several motorway catering companies, it has grown into a global leader in travel retail. The brand is synonymous with motorway rest stops, airports, and railway stations, offering a variety of culinary options.

In recent years, the ownership landscape of Autogrill has shifted significantly. As of 2023, Autogrill became a subsidiary of Dufry AG, which subsequently rebranded as Avolta in late 2023. This merger created a massive global travel retail entity headquartered in Switzerland, combining duty-free shopping with diverse food and beverage operations. While its roots and iconic presence remain strongly Italian, its strategic direction and ownership are now managed from Switzerland.
