The company history of HUG started over 140 years ago in a bakery in Lucerne. Josef Hug-Meyer laid the foundation stone for success in 1877, with the discovery of the zwieback or rusk. Since then countless other biscuits such as Läckerli, Willisauer-Ringli, DAR-VIDA Crackers, biscuits and tart shells for restaurants and hospitality, frozen snacks and Bricelets have been added, partly by company take-overs. The takeover of Wernli AG from Trimbach in 2008 enabled optimum expansion of the range to include biscuits containing chocolate. Choco Petit Beurre, Japonais and Jura Wafers were invented at Wernli. HUG AG is a Swiss family company through and through: it is at home in the heart of Switzerland and is now managed in the fourth generation by Andreas Hug and in the fifth generation by Anna Hug. The recipe for the quality and good taste of our products is in the hands of the people who work with them. True to our motto: Sincere, entrepreneurial and conscientious.
