Our approach

Our approach

One of Kelly's most important differentiating attributes is its Austrian added value. With 295 employees at the Vienna site and 145 at the plant in Feldbach in Styria, Kelly is the only snack product supplier that produces in Austria using mostly local raw materials and 100% palm oil-free. For us, sustainability means safeguarding the future and starts with our values: our corporate values commit us to making a positive contribution to people and the environment on our planet. Because we know: The economic, ecological and social livelihoods of all future generations are at stake.

Our fields of action

For us, sustainable action begins with the cultivation of raw materials and continues through to the finished product. Our work along the value chain is characterized by our four fields of action:

Austrian added value is a top priority

The quality promise and taste guarantee of Kelly have always been appreciated by customers, as well as the certainty that production and partners are based in Austria – after all, people increasingly enjoy snacking sustainably and regionally. This commitment also means continuously conducting research and aligning with the current spirit of the times. This includes ongoing product innovations as well as permanent research, e.g. to optimize packaging or transport routes, identify potential savings and implement targeted improvement measures.
