History[edit | edit source]
Marabou was established in 1916 in Sundbyberg, a suburb of Stockholm, Sweden. The brand was named after the marabou stork, which was also the logo of the company. The first Marabou chocolate factory was built in Sundbyberg, and the company quickly gained popularity for its high-quality chocolate products.
In 1969, Marabou merged with the Norwegian company Freia, forming the Scandinavian confectionery giant Nidar. In 1990, Marabou was acquired by the Kraft Foods group, which later became part of Mondelez International.

Manufacturing[edit | edit source]
Marabou chocolates are produced using high-quality ingredients, including cocoa beans sourced from various regions around the world. The production process involves roasting, grinding, and conching the cocoa beans to create a smooth and rich chocolate base. The chocolate is then molded into various shapes and sizes, packaged, and distributed to retailers.
