From Pharmacists to Vending Machines: The Story of the "S"
The history of Toms begins in 1924, founded by Danish pharmacists Hans Trojel and Victor Hans Meyer. The brand name is an acronym of their surnames: Trojel Og Meyer. In its early years, the company focused heavily on the growing vending machine market. To avoid confusion with the Danish word tom, which translates to “empty,” the founders added an “s” to the brand name. This clever branding ensured that customers never thought a vending machine was out of stock. Today, Toms is a cornerstone of the Swedish “lördagsgodis” (Saturday candy) tradition. While it shares shelf space with Swedish giants like Malaco and Cloetta, Toms has carved out a unique niche by producing its own chocolate, caramel, and marzipan from scratch, ensuring a distinct quality that has remained consistent for a century.
Iconic Classics: From Rum-Filled Turtles to Witch Scream Licorice
Toms is responsible for some of the most recognizable confectionery in Northern Europe. One of their most legendary creations is the Toms Skildpadde, a dark chocolate turtle shell filled with a rich blend of rum cream and caramel. For fans of salty and spicy treats, the Pingvin line offers the famous Heksehyl (Witch Screams), a staple in pick-and-mix bins alongside Bubs Surskalle. Another historical heavyweight is the Yankie Bar, a nougat and caramel chocolate bar originally developed for American soldiers stationed in Germany after WWII. Whether it is the solid chocolate of the Guld Barre or the diverse textures of their licorice mixes, Toms products are designed with high-quality raw materials. The brand maintains an in-house laboratory to monitor the consistency of every batch, ensuring they meet the high standards expected by candy lovers in Sweden and Germany.
Modernist Design and Royal Quality: The Arne Jacobsen Factory
The commitment to excellence at Toms extends beyond the recipe book and into the very architecture of their production. In 1962, the company commissioned the world-renowned modernist architect Arne Jacobsen to design their factory in Ballerup. This facility remains an industrial icon, reflecting the same precision found in their confectionery. As a “Purveyor to the Royal Danish Court,” Toms represents a level of prestige that few other brands, such as Fazer or Anthon Berg, can claim. The company is owned by the Gerda and Victor B. Strand Foundation, which reinvests profits into sustainable cocoa farming in Ghana. This focus on quality and ethics ensures that every piece of candy—from their RSPO-certified palm oil products to their BRC-certified chocolate—meets the rigorous food safety standards required for fast delivery to our customers across the EU.
