Discover Lindt: The History of Chocolate | Lindt Shop UK (2024)

In 2013, the charitable Lindt Chocolate Competence Foundation started a visionary project in Kilchberg, Switzerland. In 2020, during Lindt & Sprüngli's 175th anniversary, the Lindt Home of Chocolate opened its doors. Located at our headquarters in Kilchberg, it houses interactive exhibits, a research and pilot plant, the world’s largest chocolate shop, a café and chocolateria designed especially for chocolate courses. As the Home of Chocolate, it is no surprise that it also has one of the world’s largest chocolate fountains!

Today Lindt & Sprüngli is a household name signalling bliss, quality and chocolate delight the world over. Over the years, the company expanded its brand portfolio abroad and acquired chocolate businesses including Hofbauer and Küfferle (1994), Caffarel (1997), Ghirardelli (1998) and Russell Stover (2014). Today, the Lindt & Sprüngli brands create a unique product world with more than 2500 products. Our quality products are made in 11 production sites in Switzerland, Europe and the US and are distributed via 28 subsidiaries, 500 own retail shops and a comprehensive network of more than 100 distributors in more than 120 countries. Despite its global growth, Lindt & Sprüngli remains Swiss in its roots – in fact, the Swiss remain the biggest champions with each citizen consuming on average one LINDOR truffle a day.
