Toms confectionery

Toms is a heritage Danish confectionery brand founded in 1924 by chemists Trojel and Meyer. The company has become a cultural icon in Denmark, famously known for products like the Skildpadde chocolate turtle. While the brand originated and was long headquartered in Ballerup, Denmark, the majority of its large-scale production was moved to Poland in the early 2020s to optimize manufacturing efficiency.

The brand is currently owned by Toms Gruppen A/S, which remains one of the largest confectionery producers in the Nordic region. The company is uniquely owned by the Gerda and Victor B. Strand Foundation (Toms Group Foundation), ensuring that the brand's profits support charitable causes and innovation within the industry, rather than being held by a private multinational conglomerate.
