Lotte

 

Lotte has long been one of the best known names in the world of candy, and this large international conglomerate, founded in 1948 in Tokyo, Japan, grew from a seller of chewing gum in post war Japan to a major multinational corporation boasting branches in dozens of different countries and a line of products that are shipped throughout the world.

The Lotte group consists of more than 50 different business units, and employs more than 38,000 people in not only candy making but also beverage making, fast food enterprises, retail operations and even heavy machinery. It is of course the candy, however, that is responsible for much of the company's reputation, and the organization continues to focus on using only the highest quality ingredients to create its line of sweet treats for young and old alike.

The core of the Lotte company's business consists of its line of chewing gum, chocolate candies, biscuits, beverages and ice cream confections, and these fine products continue to be top sellers in many different markets throughout the world.

In fact it is to chewing gum that the company owes much of its success. The company began its life selling chewing gum to children in the years following World War II, and these Japanese children loved this special treat and helped to create a company that is still loved by children today.

The great line of sweet treats created by Lotte has continued to grow, and the treats produced by the company continue to be loved by children and adults alike. In fact adults make up a large part of the market for the products sold by the company, and in fact many adults like to enjoy these quality products in their homes, their offices and their cars. With all this rich history, combined with a successful present, it is no wonder that these special treats are such a big seller with candy lovers around the world.
