  • Master Swiss Chocolatier Marketing/Media Planning Case Study
    Master Swiss Chocolatier Marketing/Media Planning Case Study Lindt Chocolates date back to 1847. In the Swiss town of Zurich, David Sprüngli and his son, Rudolf built a small factory to produce their delicious chocolate in solid form. In 1892, Rudolph (pictured at left) divided the business between his two sons. The elder brother, Johann Rudolf Sprüngli, received the chocolate factory while his brother received two retail stores. To raise the necessary finances for his expansion plans, Johann Rudolf converted his private company into Chocolat Sprungli. To grow the company, he acquired the Lindt chocolate factory in Berne, Switzerland. The company changed its name to “United Bern and Zurich Lindt & Sprungli Chocolate Factory Ltd.” In 1994, Lindt & Sprüngli acquired the Austrian chocolatier, Hofbauer Österreich, and integrated it, along with its Küfferle brand, into the company. In 1997 and 1998, respectively, the company acquired the Italian chocolatier, Caffarel, and the American chocolatier, Ghirardelli, and integrated them into the company as wholly owned subsidiaries. Since then, Lindt & Sprüngli expanded the once-regional Ghirardelli into many international markets. Lindt & Sprüngli has six factories located in Kilchberg, Switzerland; Aachen, Germany; Oloron-Sainte-Marie, France; Induno Olona, Italy; Gloggnitz, Austria; and Stratham, New Hampshire in the United States. Ghirardelli's factory is located in San Leandro, in northern California. After Lindt recorded net profits of 4.7 million in 2011, its market share rose to 29%, exceeding its past years. In 2014, Lindt bought Russell Stover Candies, maker of Whitman's Chocolate, for about $1.5 billion, the company's largest acquisition to date. Lindt Chocolate Cafés Lindt has opened eight chocolate cafes in Australia, four in Sydney and four in Melbourne.
