Panda Natural Liquorice

Panda is an iconic brand deeply rooted in Finnish confectionery history, most famous for its soft and natural liquorice. The brand was established in 1920 in Jyväskylä, Finland, where its main production facility remains active today, maintaining a reputation for high-quality, simple ingredients.

While the company spent many decades as an independent Finnish entity, it was eventually acquired by the Norwegian conglomerate Orkla. Across 2026 and beyond, Panda continues to operate under Orkla's expansive umbrella of Nordic food brands. The manufacturing process still primarily takes place in Finland, ensuring that the traditional recipe and quality standards of the original Finnish factory are preserved while benefiting from Orkla's international distribution network.
