Founded in 1845 and headquartered in Kilchberg, Switzerland, the company operates 12 production sites in Europe and the USA, distributes through 38 subsidiaries, over 100 independent distributors, and approximately 560 own shops across more than 120 countries. It offers a wide range of chocolates and confections under brands including Lindt with key franchises such as Lindor truffles, Gold Bunny, and Excellence bars; Ghirardelli; Russell Stover; Whitman's; Caffarel; Hofbauer and Küfferle; and Pangburn's. The company serves consumer markets in Europe, North America (USA, Canada, Mexico), and Rest of World regions including Australia, Japan, South Africa, Hong Kong, China, Brazil, Saudi Arabia, Chile, and India. Lindt & Sprüngli produces from bean to bar, sourcing cocoa through its Lindt & Sprüngli Farming Program launched in 2008 to ensure responsible practices. With around 15,000 employees, it reported sales of CHF 5.47 billion in 2024. Recent developments include strong organic sales growth of 11.2% to CHF 2.35 billion in the first half of 2025, prompting an upward revision of full-year guidance to 9-11% from 7-9%, driven by price increases offsetting high cocoa costs, core products like Lindor and Excellence, and innovations such as Lindt Dubai Style Chocolate. The company continues expanding production capacity at its Stratham, New Hampshire site, scheduled for full operation in 2025 to enhance efficiency amid sales growth; it opened a CHF 100 million extension to its Lindt Cocoa Center in Olten, Switzerland; and completed a share buyback program ahead of schedule in March 2024 totaling nearly CHF 1 billion. In 2024, it gained global market share as one of the fastest-growing chocolate manufacturers, supported by geographic expansion and product innovation.
