Malaco Smurf Fruktputer

Malaco Smurf Fruktputer are a popular fruit-flavored gummy confectionery often found in the Nordic markets, specifically Norway as indicated by the 'Samle på Smurf!' text on the packaging. The brand Malaco is a staple in the Scandinavian candy landscape, known for its wide variety of sweets and licensed character products like the Smurfs.

Originally founded in Sweden, the Malaco brand has undergone several ownership changes over the decades. Today, it is part of the Cloetta family, a leading confectionery company in Northern Europe. While the brand is Swedish in origin, production for Cloetta's diverse candy portfolio is centralized in several modern facilities across Europe, with many gummy products typical of this style being manufactured in Slovakia.

Cloetta AB is the ultimate owner of the brand, maintaining a strong presence in the Swedish, Finnish, Danish, and Norwegian markets. The company focuses on traditional sweets while incorporating popular culture licenses to appeal to younger audiences. Their manufacturing strategy leverages high-capacity production sites to distribute products throughout the Baltic and Nordic regions.
