Following a sale agreement signed in December 2007, Godiva – the world’s leading premium chocolate brand – was officially purchased on March 18, 2008. Ülker Bisküvi currently owns 19.23 percent of Godiva.
Godiva was established in Brussels in 1926 by chocolate master Joseph Draps. The company takes its name from the legendary story and personality of Lady Godiva, and has been producing premium chocolate products for 80 years. The Godiva brand serves its customers through 601 stand-alone stores and 10,000 sales locations worldwide. It has more than 60 products, ranging from premium chocolates to biscuits, from coffee to cocoa, from cakes and chocolate bars to chocolate drinks.
In 1972 Godiva opened its first store in the United States on New York’s Fifth Avenue, and the company currently offers its products to chocolate lovers throughout four geographic regions. These include North America, Japan, the Pacific region and Europe.
The recent rapid global increase in biscuit and chocolate combination products has made a big impact on Ülker Bisküvi’s partnership with Godiva of 19.23 percent. This partnership is an important breakthrough for Ülker Bisküvi, helping to share experiences and achieve international synergies.
