Mazetti AB was a Swedish manufacturer of cacao, chocolate and other candies founded and based in Malmö, Sweden. It was acquired by the Finnish Fazer company in 1975.[1]

History

Mazetti was founded in 1888 by Danish confectioner Emil Nissen, originally named Malmö Choklad och Konfektfabriks AB. A factory was built on Bergsgatan in central Malmö, with the work led by Christian Lauritz Müller.[1]

The Mazetti building

Manufacturing in Malmö ended in 1992, but the factory building remains and today houses the Mazetti Culture House (Swedish: Kulturhuset Mazetti) which opened on February 3 2006.[1][2]

Products

Mazetti started several product lines which continue as Fazer products today:

  • The Ögon brand is used for cacao and baking chocolate by Fazer[3]
  • Dumle
  • Kina 
  • Tutti Frutti
