After the operational management of the company was passed
on four years ago to the third generation, followed by the
transfer of company shares two years later, the Swiss family
company Läderach – Chocolatier Suisse completed its
long-term generational transition in 2021.
Ennenda, 22 December 2021 – During the annual general
meeting on 16 December 2021, Jürg Läderach, who has managed
the company as Chairman of the Board of Directors and, until
2018, as CEO, and his wife, Esther Läderach, who has served
on the Board of Directors since 2001, did not stand for
re-election. Both belong to the second generation, which
successfully managed and further developed the globally
active family company headquartered in the canton of Glarus
in Switzerland.
The owners elected Johannes Läderach as the new Chairman
of the Board of Directors. Johannes Läderach belongs to the
third generation and has sat on the Board of Directors of the
company, which is 100% family-owned, since 2018. He will assume

Elegance, energy and lust for life. The new Tartufi from
Läderach will make autumn sweeter – la dolce vita in
chocolate form. These elegant mouthfuls are inspired by a
Northern Italian classic, inviting you to consciously enjoy
the moment whenever you have the chance. Each of the nine
varieties stands for a special moment that connoisseurs will
be transported to, such as freshness, elegance, strength or
energy. Each Tartufo embodies the expected premium quality,
with carefully selected raw materials, expert craftsmanship
and absolute Läderach freshness. The Tartufi will be
available worldwide from 21 September in Läderach
chocolateries and the online shop.
“We all know chocolate connects people – what could be
better than enjoying a moment together? We are pleased that this
autumn we will be able to show how Northern Italian
confectionery tradition combines with authentic Swiss chocolate
craftsmanship,” says Elias Läderach, World Chocolate Master and
Head of Innovation at Läderach (Schweiz) AG.
