Business
Chocoladefabriken Lindt & Sprüngli AG is a global leader in the premium chocolate sector, manufacturing high-quality chocolates from bean to bar at 12 production sites in Europe and the USA. The company, founded in 1845 and headquartered in Kilchberg, Switzerland, offers a diverse portfolio of products including Lindt brand chocolate bars, pralines and truffles such as LINDOR, seasonal items like the GOLD BUNNY; Ghirardelli chocolate squares and intense dark varieties; Russell Stover boxed assortments and confections; as well as Caffarel gianduiotto and Hofbauer/Küfferle marzipan specialties. Lindt & Sprüngli sells through 38 subsidiaries, over 520 own shops, and a network of more than 100 independent distributors in over 120 countries worldwide, targeting premium consumers in Europe, North America, Asia-Pacific and emerging markets. Employing around 15,000 people, the group reported sales of CHF 5.47 billion in 2024 with strong organic growth of 7.8%, gaining market share amid high cocoa costs. Recent developments include the 2024 opening of a CHF 100 million plant extension at the Lindt Cocoa Center in Olten, Switzerland, doubling cocoa mass capacity since 2017 and supplying multiple European sites; ongoing expansion of the Stratham, New Hampshire facility set for full operation in 2025 to boost US production efficiency; a 2025 investment in food-tech startup Food Brewer for sustainable cocoa alternatives; approval of science-based net-zero emissions targets by 2050 via SBTi; completion of a major share buyback program in March 2024; and raised full-year 2025 sales growth guidance to 9-11% following 11.2% organic growth in the first half.
