Läderach first entered the Philippines with the opening of its SM Mall of Asia chocolaterie. The Greenbelt 5 opening expands the brand’s presence in the Philippines, with SM Megamall in Mandaluyong City set as its next location.
Six decades of Swiss chocolate craftsmanship
Founded in 1962, family-owned Läderach has built its reputation on high-quality, fresh Swiss chocolate and craftsmanship. The company is known for pioneering chocolate creations, including thin-walled hollow truffle balls and its signature open sale of fresh chocolate in its boutiques.
Today, the company is led by the third generation of the Läderach family—brothers Johannes, Elias, and David Läderach. Elias Läderach, a World Chocolate Master, represents the brand’s chocolate expertise and commitment to innovation.
Läderach now employs more than 2,500 people from over 80 countries and oversees its chocolate production from cocoa bean to shop counter. All of its chocolate is produced exclusively in the canton of Glarus, Switzerland, allowing the company to maintain control over quality throughout the production process.
