Chocolat Suchard

[1] After Philippe's death in 1884 in Neuchâtel, his daughter, Eugénie Suchard and her husband Carl Russ-Suchard, took over the functioning of his factory.

Before opening his factory, Suchard realized that a small tablet sold at a pharmacy was worth three days' wages.

This triggered a boom, and soon his chocolates won prizes at the London Great Exhibition of 1851 and the Paris Universal Exposition of 1855.

Carl Russ-Suchard combined an unusual purple packaging with a Simmental cow symbolizing their use of milk.

[21] In 2015, Mondelez opened a new production line for Milka and Suchard chocolates at its plant in Bludenz, Austria.

[22] Chocolat Suchard brand was sold by Mondelez, along with Terry's and five factories to investment company Eurazeo that formed the French confectioner Carambar & Co in 2016.
