The Willy Wonka Candy Company

The Willy Wonka Candy Company

The Willy Wonka Candy Company is a British brand of candy owned and licensed by Swiss corporation Nestlé. The Wonka brand's inception comes from materials licensed from British author Roald Dahl. His classic children's novel, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and its film adaptations are the source of both the packaging and the marketing styles of the Wonka brand. The brand was launched in 1971, coinciding with the release of the novel's first film adaptation. In 1988 the Willy Wonka Candy Company brand – then owned by Sunmark Corporation – was acquired by Nestlé. Nestlé sells sweets and chocolate under the Willy Wonka brand name in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, the Republic of Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, South Africa, Mexico, Colombia, Brazil, Argentina, Costa Rica, Panama, Dominican Republic and the Middle East.

The Willy Wonka Candy Company was first imagined in the pages of Roald Dahl's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. The 'Wonka' property was licensed to film director Mel Stuart; his 10-year-old daughter read Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and asked her father to make it into a film, obliging him to get "Uncle Dave" (producer David L. Wolper) to produce it. Stuart showed the book to Wolper, who was engaged in talks with the Quaker Oats Company. Wolper convinced the Quaker Oats Company into signing the deal for up to $3 million to finance the film version in exchange for the candy bar tie-in. Quaker, who had previous experience in the film industry, bought the rights to the book and financed the picture for the purpose of promoting their new Wonka Bar. The name of Dahl's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory however was renamed to Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory for promotion purposes.

The company headquarters is situated in the small village of Bergl near Riegersburg, a municipality in the district of Südoststeiermark in the Austrian state of Styria. Around 300 tonnes of cocoa beans and 150 tonnes of cocoa butter are turned into 600 tonnes of chocolate, served in the form of more than 400 varieties of chocolate, pralines drinking chocolate and other types of chocolate.

Zotter is a bean-to-bar chocolate manufacturer and therefore carrying out the whole chocolate production process within the company on-site: from the roasting of the cocoa beans on rollers to the grinding in the conche. Thus, Zotter is the only company in Europe that produces chocolate from bean to bar using nothing but organic and fairtrade quality.

According to the book "Chocolate - the reference standard. The Chocolate Tester 2015" Zotter ranks among the world’s best chocolate producers. 550 brands from 70 countries and 4.000 products are tested by author Georg Bernardini, a confectioner himself and business consultant, for the reprint of the 919 pages sized book.

In 1987 Josef Zotter and his wife Ulrike open the Zotter Konditorei confectionery in Graz, southern Austria. Zotter’s creative and extraordinary creations like the “Hemp Bar” and the “Funny Cake” gather international recognition. He expands and opens three more branches.

Zotter begins to produce chocolate in a back room of the confectionery in Graz in 1992. He creates hand-scooped chocolate with layered centres and a new 70g bar without the customary cubic break-off shape. Amongst others the first range of flavours included pumpkin, marzipan and dried fruit.

Two years later the Art Designer Andreas H. Gratze designs artful wrappings and creates extraordinary names for the chocolate bars.
