BATTLE CREEK, Mich. — The City of Battle Creek welcomes the Ferrero Group to the Battle Creek community following the announcement of its planned acquisition of W.K. Kellogg Co.  

Like many in our community, city leaders are just beginning to learn the details of the sale. While it’s too early to predict what this change may mean for Battle Creek, the city looks forward to learning more from both W.K. Kellogg Co and Ferrero in the coming days.  

“W.K. Kellogg Co. has shown a strong commitment to Battle Creek since its formation,” said Interim City Manager Ted Dearing. “We are hopeful that this commitment will continue under Ferrero’s ownership.” 

“We welcome Ferrero to Battle Creek,” said Mayor Mark Behnke. “We look forward to building a strong, long-term relationship that supports their success and secures their presence in our community for years to come.”
