Here, against a picturesque Alpine backdrop, we produce our fresh chocolates and are constantly developing new, innovative ideas in agile teams.

Our Corporate Functions business unit encompasses a wide range of activities. Alongside our Finance and IT Services, Global Marketing and more are also located here. Fresh ideas are developed here every day, and together we turn them into success stories. Personal responsibility and networked work are particularly important to us.
