Barilla G & R Fratelli, the planet's premier pasta producer and purveyor, keeps its plate (and its customers' plates) full. The company extrudes more than 30 shapes of pasta, which are sold in some 100 countries. It dominates the pasta market in Italy, the leading market for pasta, and about 12% of the US market (#2 in pasta consumption). Barilla also makes sauces (#1 in Italy), bread, and crackers. The company's brands include Barilla, Mulino Bianco, Panem, Pavesi, Tre Marie, and Voiello. It is 85%-owned by the fourth generation of its founding family (including the three Barilla brothers who run the company). Barilla was formed as a pasta and bread shop in 1877.
