Pingvin Finsk Lakrids

Pingvin is a classic Danish brand of confectionery, most famous for its licorice and gummy products. The Pingvin brand was originally established by Toms Gruppen (Toms Group), a prominent Danish confectionery company founded in 1924 by Hans Trojel and Victor Meyer. The Finsk Lakrids (Finnish Licorice) product line specifically targets the soft, sweet licorice market popular in the Nordic regions.

Toms Gruppen remains the ultimate owner and manufacturer of the brand. Headquartered in Ballerup, Denmark, Toms is one of the largest candy producers in Northern Europe, also owning various other iconic Nordic brands. Most Pingvin products are manufactured at Toms' primary production facilities in Denmark, maintaining a strong local heritage and adherence to Scandinavian candy standards.
