Carletti A/S is a Danish chocolate and confectionery producer. We develop, produce and sell a wide variety of chocolate and confectionery products through retailers for private consumers – primarily in Denmark and Northern Europe. In addition, we have a wide product assortment for industrial use worldwide in cake, cookie, ice cream and dairy industries.

Carletti can trace its origins back to 1918, when two brothers, Henry Peder Jacobsen and Niels Carl Jacobsen, established the wholesale company Brdr. Jacobsen in the heart of Aarhus, Denmark. That same year the Spanish flu raged, and Niels Carl Jakobsen died shortly after the company was established. Therefore, the family decided that his name should live on in the name Carletti, which means “little Carl” in Italian.

Under the Carletti brand, production of French nougat with peanuts and chocolate bananas was started in 1953; these products continue to be some of the most popular candy classics among Danes today. 

Carletti was lead by three generations of the Jacobsen family until 2006. Today the company is part of the 100 % family-owned Danish Givesco Group. Our headquarter is based in Skoedstrup, just outside of Aarhus, and we have factories in Skoedstrup and Vejle in Denmark, in Poland and in Finland.
