During 175 years of Lindt & Spr\u00fcngli's existence, i... read moret has become known as one of the most innovative and creative companies making premium chocolate. The beginnings of Lindt & Spr\u00fcngli are in 1845, when father and son for the first time manufactured solid chocolate in their small confectionery Spr\u00fcngli & Son, at that time yet a partnership. Since then, the company has gone through many different eras, but the entrepreneurial spirit and passion for making chocolate that drove both the Spr\u00fcngli family as well as Rodolphe Lindt, when he invented the first truly melting chocolate and later on sold his business to Spr\u00fcngli, are still alive. Today, quality chocolate products by Lindt & Spr\u00fcngli are made at 12 own production sites in Europe and the USA. They are distributed by 32 subsidiary companies and branch offices, in more than 500 own stores, and also via a comprehensive network of more than 100 independent distributors around the globe. With more than 14,000 employees, the Lindt\u2009&\u2009Spr\u00fcngli Group reported sales of CHF 4.97 billion in 2022.
