Hi it's valentino chocoleates.

valentino chocoleates are made in turin,italy.

they are recognised as luxury products with a delicious and unique taste.

some of valention's finest chocolates are handmade and have won many international awards.

expansion

the company started by selling raw chocolate manufacturers.

there manufacturers then used it to make their own produsts.

later, valentino began selling packaged.

chocolates directly to the public and created the valentino brand.

the company expanded fast.

It now has almost 300 employees, 75 company-owned shops.

and a turnover of 90 million.

however, in the last two years, sales growth has slowed down and costs have risen.

this has caused a fall in profits.

reasons for falling profits
