Malaco FizzyP and Fruxo candy bags

Malaco is a premier Swedish confectionery brand that traces its roots back to 1934, when it was founded as the Malmö Licorice Compani (Malaco) in Malmö, Sweden. Over the decades, it has become one of the most beloved candy brands in the Nordic region, famous for iconic products like Fruxo (introduced in 1960), Fizzypop, and Gott & Blandat.

Today, the brand is owned by the Swedish confectionery giant Cloetta AB. Following various ownership changes involving companies like Kraft and Leaf, Malaco was integrated into Cloetta's portfolio after the merger between Cloetta and Leaf in 2012. While the original factory in Malmö closed in 2001, production now takes place across Cloetta's modern manufacturing network, which includes major facilities in Ljungsbro, Sweden, and Levice, Slovakia, ensuring these classic treats reach consumers across Europe and beyond.
