Fazer is one of the largest corporations in the Finnish food industry.
The company was originally founded by Karl Fazer in 1891, as a "French-Russian confectionary" in central Helsinki. Today, it employs over ten thousand people in Finland as well as Sweden, Norway, Denmark, the Baltic countries, the United Kingdom and Russia.
Fazer's production is divided into four major areas:
- Fazer Amica, a chain of work-place restaurants
- Fazer bakeries, producing various kinds of bread
- Candyking, shop-in shop pick 'n' mix confectionery concept
- Fazer Café, a chain of cafés. The main Fazer café is on Kluuvikatu in Helsinki.
Particularly Fazer's classic chocolate (Fazerin Sininen maitosuklaa) is famous in Finland, and the blue colour of its wrapper has been used by Fazer as a symbol for the whole product line.
Fazer has bought a few other companies, including Finnish Chymos and Danish Perelly. The confectionery line was merged with its Swedish competitor Cloetta in 2000, to become Cloetta Fazer, though the merger lasted only until 2008 before the two brands were separated back to independent companies. Later, Fazer Keksit (which made biscuits) was sold to Danone. It was renamed to LU Suomi.
