Lindt Lindor

Lindor is a premium line of chocolate truffles and bars produced by the Swiss chocolatier Lindt & Sprüngli. The brand name 'Lindor' is a portmanteau of the name 'Lindt' and the French word for gold, 'or', symbolizing the high quality and luxurious melting center that the product is famous for.

Originally launched in 1949 as a seasonal chocolate bar, the iconic spherical truffle with its smooth-melting filling was introduced in 1969. While the brand is quintessentially Swiss, its manufacturing is decentralized to meet global demand. Major production facilities are located in Switzerland, Germany, France, Italy, Austria, and the United States.

The brand remains under the ultimate ownership of Chocoladefabriken Lindt & Sprüngli AG, which is an independent Swiss company publicly traded on the SIX Swiss Exchange. It has grown into one of the most recognized global symbols of Swiss chocolate craftsmanship, maintaining its headquarters in Kilchberg, Switzerland, where the company was founded in the 19th century.
