Let’s talk about chocolate, marzipan, and growth opportunities.

Schluckwerder – ever heard of us? If you’ve ever unwrapped a chocolate delight or savoured a marzipan treat, chances are we were behind the magic. Founded in 1956 and now part of the growing Valeo Foods Group, we produce top-tier confectionery and are proud to be a leader in seasonal and year-round sweet innovations.

With two modern production sites in Lübeck and Adendorf, we’re going places – fast. Our German business is transforming into Valeo Deutschland, and that’s where you come in.
