Its portfolio includes chocolate bars, pralines, truffles, seasonal confectionery and other specialty products sold under brands such as Lindor, Excellence, Gold Bunny and Hello.
The company traces its origins to 1845, when David Sprüngli-Schwarz and his son Rudolf established a chocolate business in Zurich. In 1879, Rodolphe Lindt developed the conching process, which helped create smoother chocolate. Lindt & Sprüngli was formed in 1899 following the acquisition of the Lindt business by the Sprüngli company.
Based in Kilchberg, Switzerland, Lindt & Sprüngli serves customers internationally through retail partners, supermarkets, e-commerce channels and a global network of Lindt chocolate shops and boutiques. The company has operations and distribution activities across Europe, North America, Asia-Pacific and other international markets, with products tailored to both everyday and seasonal gifting occasions.
