BENGALURU, India, Nov. 17, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Fazer, one of Finland's oldest confectionery companies, has partnered with Aberdeen Group to launch its wide range of chocolate and confectionery brands in the Indian market. The company's popular bestsellers such as Karl Fazer, including the legendary Karl Fazer Milk Chocolate 'Fazer Blue' and Geisha pralines will be available to Indian chocolate lovers via Aberdeen Group's network of distributors including major retail outlets, airport stores & e-commerce platforms.

The company is present in 8 countries and exports its products to more than 40 countries worldwide. Fazer's bestselling confectionery brands include Karl Fazer Milk Chocolate 'Fazer Blue' and Geisha pralines. In 2022 Fazer Blue, Finland's most loved chocolate, which first went on sale in 1922, is celebrating it's 100 years anniversary. Karl Fazer's golden signature and the blue wrapper have been the emblem and quality guarantee of milk chocolate from the very beginning. Geisha chocolate was launched in 1962.

Success was assured from the very first moment. Geisha is Fazer's international bestseller.
