Malaco Gott & Blandat candy

Malaco Gott & Blandat is a classic Swedish confectionery mixture that was first introduced to the market in 1979. Known for its unique blend of sweet, sour, and salt licorice pieces, it has become one of the most popular candy bags in Scandinavia. The brand Malaco itself dates back to the early 20th century in Sweden.

While the brand has deep Swedish roots, manufacturing has shifted over the years. Following a series of corporate mergers and acquisitions, production for many of Cloetta's candy products, including Gott & Blandat, is primarily focused in Slovakia at their modern production facility in Levice. This allows the company to distribute efficiently across the European market while maintaining the original recipes and quality standards.

Today, Malaco is owned by Cloetta AB, a leading northern European confectionery company. Cloetta is headquartered in Stockholm, Sweden, and is listed on the Nasdaq Stockholm exchange. The ownership has remained stable within the Nordic corporate structure, ensuring that this cultural staple remains under Swedish management even as their manufacturing footprint has expanded internationally.
