History

In 1862 Christoph Cloëtta (1836- 1897) and his two brothers Nutin Cloëtta and Bernard Cloëtta founded Danish chocolate manufacturer Brødrene Cloëttas steam chocolate factory. In 1873 Nutin Cloëtta established a Swedish subsidiary in Malmö, Sweden and one subsidiary in 1896 in Oslo, Norway.[6][7]

Cloetta has eight factories in five countries. The two largest factories are in Levice, Slovakia, and Ljungsbro, Sweden.[8] The company is listed on the Stockholm stock exchange. In 2017, Cloetta finalized a deal to acquire pick & mix supplier Candyking, which operates in the United Kingdom and the Nordic countries.[9]

Some of the brands owned by Cloetta are Läkerol, Cloetta, Candyking, Jenkki, Kexchoklad, Malaco, Sportlife, Red Band, and Nutisal.[10]
