• THRIVING FOR OVER SEVEN DECADES
    A legacy beyond 75 years in the market

WHO WE ARE?

We are a privately held group of companies currently operating our own marketing organizations specialized in Toy Candy and Candy Novelties for children.

75 Sweet Years

Our founder, the legendary Josef Gschwandtner Sr. (1927 - 2021), based his business on the idea of supplying the market with confectionery at people's prices.

Among the first products he marketed were chewing gums, which were popular with the American soldiers occupying the Salzburg area at the time. 

Based on this success, the company continued to innovate, coming up with delicacies such as shaped candy rolls and surprise bags. The early years set the stage for the development and flourishing of the company, which was and still is guided by the principles of quality, affordability and a sweet touch of innovation.

Generational Success

In 2014 the founder of the company handed the company over to his son Josef Gschwandtner jr., who continues the family tradition since 1991, when he started his own company MSI (Marketing Systems International spol. s r.o.) in the Czech Republic. 

We are also one of the Top 2 or 3 players in Europe in the Toy Candy and Candy Novelty sector.
