Merci chocolate

Merci is a renowned brand of European chocolates produced by the German confectionery giant August Storck KG. The brand was first introduced in Germany in 1964 as the first individually wrapped chocolate bar, with the name "Merci" (French for "Thank you") chosen to position the product as a thoughtful gift for expressing gratitude. The primary manufacturing facility for Merci is located in Germany, where the brand maintains its tradition of high-quality craftsmanship.

The brand is celebrated for its signature variety of flavors and gold-wrapped bars. Since its inception, Merci has remained under the ownership of August Storck KG, a family-owned company established in 1903. As of 2026, Storck continues to operate as an independent powerhouse in the global confectionery market, managing Merci alongside other famous brands like Toffifee and Werther's Original from its headquarters in Berlin and Halle (Westf.).
