ORGANISATION
Lindt & Sprüngli is the market leader in premium chocolate, offering a wide range of products in more than 120 countries worldwide. With over 180 years of experience, Lindt & Sprüngli is known as one of the most innovative and creative companies in the premium chocolate sector.
The origins of Lindt & Sprüngli date back to 1845, when father and son first made chocolate in their small confectionery Sprüngli & Son, then still a partnership. Since then, the company has gone through many different eras. The entrepreneurial spirit and passion for chocolate making that drove both the Sprüngli family and Rodolphe Lindt, when he invented the first real melting chocolate before selling his company to Sprüngli, still live on today.
Today, Lindt & Sprüngli’s quality chocolate products are manufactured in 12 own production sites in Europe and the USA. They are distributed by 25 subsidiaries and branches, in more than 410 own stores, and through an extensive network of more than 100 independent distributors worldwide. With more than 14,000 employees, the Lindt & Sprüngli Group reports sales of nearly EUR 5 billion.
