History[edit | edit source]

The Sugus brand was launched by the Swiss company Suchard in 1931. Initially, Sugus candies were produced in a limited range of flavors, such as lemon and orange, but the brand quickly gained popularity due to its unique texture and taste. The candies were notable for their use of real fruit juice, a rarity at the time, which contributed to their authentic flavors. In the decades that followed, Sugus expanded its flavor offerings and began to establish a presence in international markets.

Manufacturing Process[edit | edit source]

The manufacturing process of Sugus candies involves several key steps. First, the ingredients, including sugar, glucose syrup, and fruit juice concentrate, are mixed together.

Finally, the candies are wrapped in their distinctive wrappers, which are designed to preserve freshness and flavor.
