Tradition & Innovation

Schokinag Schokoladeindustrie Mannheim GmbH

Established in 1923, SCHOKINAG has been manufacturing chocolates since more than 100 years and is now recognized as one of the key manufacturers of industrial chocolates in Europe.

Over the last century, SCHOKINAG has established itself as one of the leading chocolate suppliers in Europe thanks to the outstanding work of our employees and the ongoing trust of our customers.

Our investment decisions aim to secure our company, our employees and our environment in the long term.

SCHOKINAG is now part of the Guan Chong Berhad (GCB) Group. Thanks to this new ownership, SCHOKINAG gained direct access to raw materials and improved control over their origin. This allows us to more effectively promote a sustainable supply chain and increase the proportion of sustainably sourced raw materials. For our customers, this means even greater flexibility and customization in meeting their procurement needs.
