After Eight is a world-renowned brand of mint chocolate thins, famous for its elegant dark chocolate squares combined with a smooth fondant peppermint centre. Originally launched in 1962, the brand was created to capitalize on the British tradition of 'after-dinner' chocolates. Its distinctive green packaging and clock logo are iconic symbols of sophisticated confectionery across the globe.
The brand was originally developed by Rowntree & Co. in the United Kingdom. Following the acquisition of Rowntree's in 1988, After Eight became a key part of the Nestlé portfolio. Today, while it is sold in over 60 countries, a significant portion of its production remains centered in Halifax, West Yorkshire, though Nestlé operates global manufacturing facilities that may produce regional variants.
Ownership of After Eight lies with Nestlé S.A., a Swiss multinational food and drink processing conglomerate. Nestlé is one of the largest food companies in the world, maintaining high standards of production and distribution for the brand. In local markets, the product is handled by Nestlé’s regional subsidiaries, such as Nestlé UK for the British market or Nestlé Deutschland for European distribution.
