Since 1949, Lindt’s most recognized brand has evolved into one of the highest-quality chocolate products on the market and continues to remain innovative in its design and flavor offerings. Every 10 years, LINDOR undergoes a global design facelift and for the 2011 launch, Lindt USA proudly lead the efforts. The newer design is described as a “modern classic” by the Lindt team and consists of a more feminine look, while still utilizing LINDOR’s familiar color schemes.
See how the LINDOR brand has evolved throughout the years:
- 1949: Launch of LINDOR tablet in Switzerland. This tablet included the originally soft-melting recipe (“mit zartschmelzender Füllung”)
- Late 1950’s: The lace – a traditional pattern of the renowned Swiss textile industry in St. Gallen, Switzerland was incorporated into the LINDOR design.
- 1967: The idea came up in Germany to produce truffles with the LINDOR recipe as a Christmas tree decoration.

- 1987: The product line began expanding with the introduction of the dark LINDOR truffles.
