Frey is both renowned for its original products and for its imitations of other well-known products, notably the Branche, Toblerone[1] and Ragusa[2] bars.
The products were primarily manufactured for the Migros cooperatives and sold in their branches. In addition, catering establishments, bulk consumers and the processing industry were also supplied. Exports accounted for more than a third of sales.
The Migros industrial companies Delica, Midor, Riseria Taverne and Totale Capsule Solutions merged with Chocolat Frey to form the new Delica AG on June 1, 2021. Since the merger, "Chocolat Frey" has been a Delica AG brand.[3][4]
