Avolta is a global leader in travel retail and food and beverage, formed through the merger of Dufry and Autogrill. Operating across airports, cruise lines, and key transit hubs, Avolta connects travellers with premium brands and curated retail experiences. With a strong focus on innovation, customer experience, and global reach, Avolta provides an ideal platform for suppliers like Australian United Spirits to showcase Australian products to international audiences.
Avolta, in its current form, was established through the strategic merger of Dufry and Autogrill in 2023. Dufry was originally founded in 1865 in Switzerland, while Autogrill was established in Italy in 1977. The combined entity brings together decades of expertise in travel retail and hospitality, led by an experienced executive team with deep global industry knowledge.
Avolta is headquartered in Switzerland and operates in over 70 countries worldwide. The business spans duty free retail, convenience, and food and beverage, servicing millions of travellers each year. Its scale and established global footprint make it a key partner for export-ready suppliers such as Australian United Spirits, looking to expand into international travel retail channels.
