Russell Stover

Lindt & Sprüngli acquired Russell Stover Chocolates, including the Witman’s and Pangburn’s brands owned by the company, in 2014 to further strengthen the Group’s presence in the US market.

An American classic since 1923 

The Russell Stover story began in 1923 in Denver, Colorado, when Russell and Clara Stover started a candy business in their home. Very soon afterwards they were crafting high-quality pralines for special occasions. In 1993, Russell Stover acquired Whitman’s, one of America’s oldest chocolate brands, founded in 1842.

Over the years, Russell Stover has become synonymous with American chocolate gifting. The company offers an assortment of treats, including the popular Bow Line Pralines, Valentine Heart Boxes, the legendary Whitman’s Sampler Boxes, Pangburn’s Millionaires, and a successful line of sugar-free products. To this day Russell Stover remains a top choice for gifting related to special occasions throughout the year.
