Wernli AG is a Swiss biscuit manufacturer with roots in Trimbach, near Olten, dating back to 1905 when Friedrich Johann Wernli-Studer opened a bakery. The company specializes in processing Swiss chocolate and fillings, producing staples such as Jura Waffels, Choco Petit Beurre, and Japonais, alongside newer creations like Jura Choco au lait, surfin, and cappucino. Since its 2008 acquisition by HUG AG, the two firms have supported Wernli’s quality standards and use of natural raw materials where possible, helping it maintain a prominent position in Switzerland’s confectionery segment. Operating in the manufacturing sector, Wernli serves the Swiss consumer market with traditional biscuits that blend heritage and ongoing product development. In 2022, the production site was relocated from Trimbach to Malters, and offices in Trimbach were closed, reflecting organizational changes within the HUG family. The company remains part of the HUG group, with leadership transitions occurring at that time, continuing its legacy of confectionery production.
