OVERVIEW

Our history

The history of Choco-Diffusion: A taste adventure for all the family

The Choco-Diffusion adventure began in 1981, in the premises of a former family-run bakery in Le Locle. Driven by his passion for gourmet products, Jean-Willy Bihler founded the company with the aim of distributing chocolates, caramels and biscuits. Starting as a small family-run business, it saw rapid growth, thanks to solid partnerships and the creation of iconic own brands such as SwissDream, Bibichoc, L’Atelier Grand-Mère and SwissChoc!.

In 2015, the acquisition of La Semeuse, a coffee brand founded in 1900 in La Chaux-de-Fonds, marked a new stage in the CD Group’s diversification, strengthening its presence in the coffee sector.
