We are a traditional, medium-sized family business. Not only in Baden-Württemberg but also worldwide we are known for fine chocolate figurines, chocolate bars and handmade chocolates from our own manufactory. We only use the best ingredients, because compromises taste sour and have no place in our sweet chocolate.
Today, Klett offers over 200 different hollow chocolate figures - the focus is on the Christmas and Easter seasons. Chocolate bars round off the seasonal products.
The portfolio is supplemented by Halloween figures. We also produce year-round articles such as chocolate footballs or filled chocolate baubles.
For every taste the right chocolate:
• Milk chocolate
• Fine milk chocolate
• White chocolate
• Dark chocolate
• Chocolate with ingredients (e.g. flakes, crisps or almonds)
• Filled chocolate products
• Sustainable chocolate (e.g. Rainforest Alliance, organic, Fairtrade)
We need exactly two things for our chocolate products: the very best raw materials and our highly qualified employees.
– Ulf Baum (CEO)
As a basis for our delicious chocolate products we need exactly two things:
We combine these two things on 10,000 m² of production and storage space. Here we have the most modern systems for flawless production under the strictest hygiene and quality standards.
In this way we produce around 70 million of our well-known hollow figures per year. That's up to 400,000 figures a day. And that is up to 17 tons of chocolate - per day.
Many of our chocolate products are still decorated by hand with great patience. Of course, we are also happy to meet customer requirements or custom-made products.
All our chocolate creations can also be offered with the common sustainability labels. For example, Klett has been organically certified since 2004 and produces chocolate products in organic quality upon request. Learn more under Zertifizierung.
Today, Klett chocolate is sold worldwide. Europe and Germany are our core markets.
But regardless of the country in which our chocolate ultimately ends up: reliability, quality and flexibility always were and always will be our goal to provide our customers with products of the best marketable quality.
Since we were founded in 1953, we have many photos that are almost as black and white as our delicious chocolate hollow figures.
