Göteborgs Kex is a historic Swedish brand founded in 1888 in Kungälv, Sweden. The Ballerina line, featuring the iconic raspberry (hallon) flavor shown on the packaging, is one of the brand's most recognizable products.
Originally produced within Sweden for over a century, the manufacturing operations were recently transitioned to a state-of-the-art facility in Latvia by its owner to modernize production. The brand is currently owned by Orkla, a Norwegian industrial conglomerate that acquired the company through various mergers and acquisitions involving the Norwegian group and Procordia Food. Today, Göteborgs Kex operates under the Orkla Confectionery & Snacks Sweden division, maintaining its heritage as a staple of Swedish fika culture despite the international ownership and production shifts.
