The Finnish confectionery brand Panda has been producing chocolate and licorice since the 1920s and is today one of the leading licorice manufacturers in the world. Panda is best known for its original confectionery, happy attitude, and home base at the factory in Vaajakoski.
At the Haraldsby factory in the Åland Islands, which opened in 1969, over 30 million kilos of potatoes are converted into delicious Taffel snacks and Oolannin frozen potato products every year. Similar to Vaajakoski, the factory has its own development laboratory where new and exciting snack ideas are created.
Sustainability is at the heart of product development in Orkla Suomi factories. All products are palm oil-free, cocoa is Rainforest Alliance certified, and factories are contributing to the circular economy.
