The Finest Confectionery Art for 70 Years

Confiserie Heilemann GmbH was founded in 1955 by master confectioner Karl Heilemann in Memmingen and is a manufacturer of exquisite chocolate, praline and truffle specialties. The product range includes chocolate bars, sticks, hand-decorated pralines, seasonally designed gift packaging as well as cast chocolate hollow figurines. Production takes place at Alpenstraße 1 in Woringen, where the company has been headquartered since 1977 - today partly using traditional handcraft combined with modern manufacturing methods. Only fine-grade cocoas and high-quality ingredients are used; the portfolio ranges from fine milk chocolate (32 % cocoa) and fine dark chocolate (62 %/85 %) to white, Ruby and Caramel Blond Chocolate as well as vegan varieties and single-origin chocolates of different origins. Since 2016, the company has belonged to Viba sweets GmbH from Floh-Seligenthal (Thuringia), which since 2024 has formed a group of five traditional brands together with arko, HUSSEL and Eilles.
