The firm was founded in Halle, Saxony-Anhalt where its headquarters are today.

In 1851 the company was named Friedrich David & Söhne.

Its most famous products are the "Halloren-Kugeln", or Halloren globes, which receive their name from the early salt workers, the "Halloren", whose festive dress has ball-shaped buttons which the chocolates resemble.

In 2013, the company secured a majority share in the Belgian chocolate producer Bouchard.
