Nestle gives trademark rights to Szerencsi
Nestle has transferred the exclusive rights to use the Szerencsi brand for non-cocoa products to Hungarian company Szerencsi Bonbon.
The Swiss food giant purchased the chocolate factory in Szerencs in 1991, which has become a regional production and packaging centre, supplying cocoa and coffee powder to 30 countries, said Nestle Hungaria CEO Peter Noszek.
Szerencsi Bonbon makes Szerencsi brand flavoured sweets in addition to chocolate products.
Chocolate production in Szerencs is in good hands, said Agriculture Minister Istvan Nagy, after the signing of the trademark use agreement, which, he said, will ensure the future of the more than 100-year-old industry in the city.
Nestle has invested Ft 7.5 billion in the region, Ft 5.5 billion of that in the Szerencs facility. A new production line was built at a cost of Ft 180 million in 2015, creating 100 jobs.
Szerencsi Bonbon founder Istvan Takacs said it is unprecedented for a large company to transfer a product trademark. (infostart.hu; portfolio.hu; tozsdeforum.hu; index.hu; napi.hu)
