The company was established in 1862 by the three Cloetta brothers and has since grown to become a prominent player in the confectionery industry. Cloetta is known for producing a wide range of products including chocolate, candy, gum, and pastilles.

History

The Cloetta company was founded by the brothers Bernhard Cloetta, Nutus Cloetta, and Christoph Cloetta in 1862. The brothers were originally from Switzerland but moved to Sweden to start their confectionery business. The company initially started as a small-scale operation but quickly grew in popularity due to the high quality of their products.

In the early 20th century, Cloetta introduced the first Swedish-made milk chocolate. This was a significant milestone in the company's history and helped to further establish Cloetta as a leading confectionery company in Sweden.

Over the years, Cloetta has continued to innovate and expand their product range. Today, the company produces a wide variety of confectionery products and is known for brands such as Läkerol, Plopp, and Kexchoklad.
