Lindt & Sprüngli chocolate

Lindt & Sprüngli is a premium Swiss chocolate manufacturer with a heritage dating back to 1845. The brand originated in Zurich when David Sprüngli-Schwarz and his son, Rudolf Sprüngli-Ammann, produced the first solid chocolate bar in German-speaking Switzerland. Later, the acquisition of Rodolphe Lindt's chocolate factory brought the revolutionary 'conche' technology to the company, defining the smooth texture modern chocolate is known for.

Today, the brand maintains its reputation for quality through a vertically integrated supply chain, from the selection of cocoa beans to the final product. While Lindt has production facilities in several countries including Germany, France, Italy, Austria, and the USA, their core premium lines remain anchored in Swiss craftsmanship. The company is publicly traded on the SIX Swiss Exchange as Chocoladefabriken Lindt & Sprüngli AG.
