Working at Ludwig Schokolade

At all our locations—our headquarters in Bergisch Gladbach, our production sites in Saarlouis, Saarwellingen, Skoczów, and Tuczno, and our sales branches around the world—one important thing unites us: our passion for sweets. All of our 1,500 employees work together to deliver innovative, distinctive products of the highest quality and to make our customers’ lives that little bit sweeter every day.

Alongside our brand-name products such as Schogetten, Edle Tropfen in Nuss, FRITT, Kaba, and many more, we also produce private-label brands—we are an efficient, reliable partner for retailers, providing them with extensive support and consulting services.

As part of the family-operated KRÜGER GROUP, which employs more than 5,700 people in Germany and internationally, we have a strong global network. But we also have deep roots at all our locations around the world. And that’s a good thing, because it means every location has its own identity while still sharing our passion for unique, high-quality products. Vibrant diversity and sustainability permeate every area of our company; they make us who we are and shape our company culture. Our core values are defined by our respect for our fellow human beings and the environment; our active commitment to sustainability is evidence of that fact.

The career opportunities open to you at Ludwig Schokolade are as varied, exciting, and tempting as our products! No matter what phase of life you find yourself in—ready for a traineeship, studying for a degree, just starting your career, or boasting years of experience—we can provide you with the right kind of challenge.
