Lindt & Sprunhli is a Swiss group dedicated to the manufacture and sale of chocolate, present in over 100 countries and with 1 production site in France. The group produces numerous types of chocolate bars (Lindt, Excellence, Waffer, etc.) and confectionery (Lindor, Kirsch), as well as top-of-the-range seasonal products.
The brand ranks second in sales of chocolate confectionery products in France, with around 14% market share. Its current strategy is to move upmarket in response to falling consumption. This was partly reflected in the acquisition of Russel Stover in the United States in 2014.
