About Loacker
Loacker is a premium Italian confectionery company specialising in wafers and chocolate, celebrating its 100th anniversary in 2025. Founded in 1925 by Austrian confectioner Alfons Loacker in Bolzano, South Tyrol, the brand has grown from a small pastry shop to an international name synonymous with quality and craftsmanship. The company's production facilities in the Italian and Austrian Alps operate at over 1,000 metres above sea level, where fresh mountain air and pure water contribute to Loacker's distinctive quality. Their primary manufacturing site in Auna di Sotto (Unterinn), established in 1974, serves as company headquarters and remains central to their family-owned operations. Loacker's commitment to premium ingredients sets them apart: Bourbon vanilla pods from Madagascar, cocoa beans from Ecuador and Ivory Coast, and milk powder from Dolomites Milk - a joint venture with a South Tyrolean cooperative comprising 1,100 local farmers. This dedication to sourcing has helped achieve €459.4 million global turnover in 2024 and approximately 4.5% of the international wafer market. In 2025, Loacker reinforced its sustainability credentials by installing the world's first emission-free wafer oven at their Heinfels facility, reducing energy consumption by 50% whilst eliminating direct CO₂ emissions. This innovation reflects their century-long commitment to quality without compromise. Loacker products including Classic Napolitaner, Double Chocolate, and Vanilla wafers are available at UK supermarkets including Tesco and ASDA.
