Toms is a classic Danish confectionery brand, famously known for its Pingvin (Penguin) liquorice and winegum range. The brand's history dates back to 1924 when it was founded by chemists Hans Trojel and Victor Meyer in Copenhagen. Over decades, it has become a staple of the Nordic candy market, known for its focus on tradition and quality.

The products are primarily manufactured in Denmark at the company's production facilities in Ballerup, though some production has shifted to Poland to optimize international logistics. Toms Group A/S remains a major player in Northern Europe, owning several other iconic brands like Anthon Berg and Ga-Jol. The company is currently owned by the Gerda and Victor B. Strand Foundation, ensuring that the brand maintains its Danish roots and contributes to charitable causes.
