Chocolat Frey AG, commonly Frey, based in Buchs in the Swiss Canton of Aargau, manufactures chocolate and chewing gum. The products of the leading chocolate manufacturer on the Swiss chocolate market are sold both in Switzerland and abroad under the brand name of Frey as well as additional private labels. The company, founded in 1887, is a business enterprise of the M-Industry and has been a part of the Migros Group since 1950.
Frey is both renowned for its original products and for its imitations of other well-known products, notably the Branche, Toblerone and Ragusa bars.
The products were primarily manufactured for the Migros cooperatives and sold in their branches. In addition, catering establishments, bulk consumers and the processing industry were also supplied. Exports accounted for more than a third of sales.
The Migros industrial companies Delica, Midor, Riseria Taverne and Totale Capsule Solutions merged with Chocolat Frey to form the new Delica AG on June 1, 2021. Since the merger, "Chocolat Frey" has been a Delica AG brand.
