Founded in 1845 in Zurich, Switzerland, and headquartered in Kilchberg, the company operates 12 production sites in Europe and the USA, employing around 15,000 people. Lindt & Sprüngli maintains vertical integration in its supply chain, including sustainable cocoa sourcing via the Lindt & Sprüngli Farming Program launched in 2008. In recent developments, Lindt & Sprüngli completed a €100 million expansion of its cocoa center in Olten, Switzerland, in 2024, doubling production capacity since 2017, adding new lines, a loading bay, laboratory, and 12 jobs to support European sites. The company launched innovations like Lindt Dubai Style Chocolate, contributing to strong H1 2025 organic sales growth of 11.2% to CHF 2.35 billion and a raised full-year 2025 outlook of 9-11% growth. It also enhanced supply chain efficiency through a partnership with Lobster for real-time data visibility and automation.
