Kägi Söhne
Kägi Söhne AG (from German, lit. "Kägi Sons") is a Swiss confectioner and chocolate producer based in Lichtensteig (St. Gallen). It was founded in 1934 as a bakery by Otto Kägi, who started producing wafers in 1942 and chocolate in 1960. After his death in 1965, the sons of Otto Kägi took over the company. As of 2021, the company has 140 employees.[1] The company is located in the Toggenburg region, where is found the Churfirsten range, used as the corporate logo.
The main speciality of Kägi Söhne is the Kägi fret (using the shortened French word for wafer: "gaufrette"),[2] a twin chocolate coated wafer bar. It has been produced since 1958 (in its current form) and is today one of the most iconic chocolate bars produced in Switzerland.[3][4] The Kägi Toggenburger, which are fresh butter biscuits, are the other speciality of the company.
