Italian winery and distillery Bottega (producers of the iconic prosecco Bottega Gold) and LINDT & SPRÜNGLI Duty Free (producers of finest and premium LINDT SWISS MASTERPIECES Pralines) have launched a new collaborative partnership to promote the joint sales of their bestselling products in the duty-free sector.

The award-winning companies, who have been experts in chocolate and wine making for centuries, will be offering customers an impressive premium product featuring a 75cl bottle of Bottega Gold and LINDT SWISS MASTERPIECES Pralines in decorative golden boxes, which will be exclusive to the travel retail market. Both products are presented in striking gold packaging, making them ideal for the gifting market.

This new promotion called “Perfect Match” follows the successful collaboration between the two companies that offered Dubai Duty Free customers a bottle of Bottega Amarone della Valpolicella paired with LINDT Excellence chocolate bars in October 2016 exclusively at Dubai Duty Free.

The partnership will be featured across a range of duty free and travel retail outlets worldwide and retailers will get their first look at the partnership at TFWA World Exhibition & Conference in Cannes during October. For this promotion the two brands developed a dedicated display solution to put the spotlight on this striking initiative – displays and more support material will be available for travel retail outlets in 2018.

Sandro Bottega, owner and managing director at Bottega, said: “The synergistic union between the best chocolate in the world and our sparkling wines is a “perfect match”, on both the taste side, and the commercial aspect. Bottega and Lindt are both premium brands and innovation leaders in travel retail, with long tradition and great consumer understanding, whose products celebrate pure indulgence and stand for both luxury and the promise of the highest quality.

Peter Zehnder, head of the LINDT & SPRÜNGLI global duty free division, also commented on the partnership: “We are delighted to be pairing these excellent products in another premium partnership. The partnership will take gifting to the next level, strengthening and emotionalising the confectionery and liquor categories. The aim of the partnership is to boost non-promotional sales and help increase average transaction value across duty free outlets globally.

“Our SWISS MASTERPIECES Pralines are an excellent example of the artistry and craftsmanship that is deeply rooted in the creations of LINDT & SPRÜNGLI. Paired with the wonderful Bottega Gold we feel we have created an exquisite combination, which will delight customers across the world.”

LINDOR Tubes will provide a moment of bliss with the irresistibly smooth-melting LINDOR Balls, available in Chinese New Year colours of classic red (LINDOR Milk) and premium gold (LINDOR Milk, Dark, White and Hazelnut).

After a successful first year of sales at Schiphol Airport Amsterdam, Gebr. Heinemann is now bringing the chocolate brand Tony’s Chocolonely to the global travel retail market. Alongside Amsterdam, the products will now be available in the Heinemann Duty Free Shops in Oslo, Copenhagen, Frankfurt, Hamburg, Berlin, Budapest and Vienna.

TREX developed especially for and with Gebr. Heinemann
Within a timeframe of only three months, together with Gebr. Heinemann, Tony’s Chocolonely has developed ten new products for the launch with the travel retailer, which were previously not available for purchase and which will now be available exclusively at Gebr. Heinemann and its distribution customers until at least the end of this year. These include seven different 300 gram bars (Milk Caramel Sea Salt, Milk, Milk Hazelnut, Dark Almond Sea Salt, Dark Milk Pretzel Toffee, Milk Nougat, Dark) and three Tiny Tony’s Pouch Packs (Mix Pack, Milk, Milk Caramel Sea Salt).

Image may be NSFW.
Clik here to view.

An impact company that makes chocolate
With its colourful design, extraordinary flavours and fair price, the Dutch brand appeals to chocolate lovers globally. The most important about Tony’s Chocolonely, however, is its mission to make 100% slave free the norm in chocolate. This mission is the driving force behind the entire brand, and comes first in everything that they do.

“Tony’s Chocolonely sets a good example to the world that high quality, sustainability and profit can go hand in hand. The brand has found favour internationally with its responsible claim. But the fair chocolate is also a hit from a commercial point of view and we’re very happy that we can offer it to travellers at our other European Duty Free sites in addition to Amsterdam. We are also very enthusiastic about the company’s high level of rapidity and flexibility in regard to developing travel retail exclusives,” says Kay Spanger, Chief Commercial Officer of Gebr. Heinemann.

“In order to make all chocolate worldwide slave free, it is an absolute must to also be successful in one of world’s biggest channels: Duty Free Travel Retail. We’re happy to have Gebr. Heinemann as our launching partner and are looking forward to take the next step with them in our mission to 100% slave free chocolate,” says Henk Jan Beltman, Chief Chocolate Officer of Tony’s Chocolonely

In the Netherlands, the chocolate is already the market leader in domestic retail and a pioneer in the industry. The path of the cocoa bean can be traced across the entire production chain, from the farm to the environmentally-friendly packaging. The impact company only buys its cocoa beans direct from farmers’ cooperatives in West Africa and guarantees to work with them for at least five years. Depending on their living and labour costs, Tony’s Chocolonely pays them flexible premiums in addition to the world market price, on top of the fair trade premium. This additional premium enables farmers to earn a living income and invests, like in training for farmers, through the cooperatives. These fair prices ensure improved local conditions and better quality cocoa beans. However, the company is not only very transparent when it comes to its entire supply chain, but also when it comes to sales and profits, and makes employees shareholders of the brand.

This approach fits in very well with Gebr. Heinemann’s sustainability strategy, under which the company is continuously expanding its product portfolio in the spirit of growing responsibility for the environment and society, among other things.

Nestlé is to introduce Baci Perugina, the iconic Italian chocolate brand recognised worldwide for its Italian heritage, quality and taste, with a new range of high-end products available to duty-free customers.

The fine chocolate recipe, first crafted by Luisa Spagnoli in 1922 in the medieval Italian city of Perugina, has gone on to inspire an expansive and luxurious product line offering a number of variations on the original dark Baci (meaning “kisses” in Italian).

The unforgettable ‘kiss’ with an irresistible Italian taste is currently enjoyed in 55 countries, selling some 500 million units a year and Nestlé International Travel Retail General Manager Stewart Dryburgh believes it is Baci’s association with love that makes the brand ideal for gifting within global travel retail.

“Over the past 96 years, Baci Perugina chocolates have travelled to all parts of the world, bringing with them the best of Italian values, tradition, customs and culture,” he says.

Appealing to discerning, gift-buying customers and capitalising on the ever-growing dark and premium chocolate trend, four decadently dark offerings: Baci Original Dark Bag, Baci Original Dark Bijou, Baci Extra Dark Bijou and Baci Original Dark Box are accompanied by the smooth and sumptuous Baci Milk Bijou – making it easier than ever before for travellers to share unforgettable moments with friends and loved ones with the special gift that says, “I love you the Italian way”.

Baci Perugina chocolates are made with only eight, all-natural ingredients (including 100% cocoa butter and natural vanilla flavouring) and are gluten-free and kosher-certified. Additionally, as part of its pledge for superior, quality ingredients in all its products, Baci Perugina participates in the Nestlé initiative, The Cocoa Plan, to continue the global corporation’s long-term commitment in making a real difference through better farming, better lives and better cocoa.

“Our value for quality, wholesome and healthy ingredients meets the demand of high-end consumers worldwide who are increasingly mindful of what they eat,” continues Dryburgh. “With the introduction of these five new products, which are perfect for global travel retail we look forward to working further with the industry to delight the palates of even more consumers across the globe. One of the major requirements for ITR – and indeed Nestle – is that brands have stories to tell. Baci has a great story and, quite uniquely, everyone is different – each has an ‘irregularity’ that makes it more desirable.”

Baci Perugina’s history, founded on Italian culture, tradition and passion, encapsulates the very essence of the celebrated ‘Made in Italy With Love’ concept conveyed by its star-studded wrapping, indulgent ingredients and the ‘love notes’ (romantic messages penned by philosophers, classical authors, contemporary artists) offered in various International languages that have become synonymous with the brand.

Baci Perugina will be available from September this year.

As part of its mission of making travel retail a more magical place, Lindt & Sprüngli Travel Retail is forming premium partnerships with key airport and travel retailers. LINDT has teamed up with Heinemann Duty Free to launch its first exclusive product range with the travel retailer, the LINDT Dark Caramel Sea Salt Edition.

Combining finest dark chocolate with caramel and a pinch of sea salt, LINDT Dark Caramel Sea Salt is a travel retail exclusive that offers true differentiation from the high street. It will be available in two bestselling formats – an assorted LINDOR Tube Selection 396g and LINDT Assorted Napolitains 500g – with both featuring attractive emerald gift packs evoking holiday memories and reflecting the maritime history of Heinemann’s hometown of Hamburg.

Caramel and sea salt has proven to be an unusual yet commercially successful flavour combination, which is enjoyed worldwide and resonates strongly with experience-hungry millennial travellers. The growing popularity of dark chocolate, particularly among Asian consumers, will further add to the appeal of LINDT Dark Caramel Sea Salt Edition.

The range will be supported with impactful merchandising and placements at Heinemann stores around the world, with a focus on Sydney, Hong Kong and Heinemann’s top 20 airports in Europe – including Frankfurt, Vienna and Amsterdam. In addition, a focus is put also on some of Gebr. Heinemann’s major distribution customers for example in Munich, Johannesburg and Kiev.

Special maritime-themed store display material for head gondolas and impulse podiums will be integrated into Heinemann’s promotions, while a six-month digital communication campaign will also be launched to create maximum visual impact. LINDT Dark Caramel Sea Salt Edition will additionally feature on a large-scale pop-up at Hong Kong International Airport.

Peter Zehnder, Head of the Lindt & Sprüngli global duty free division, said: “At Lindt & Sprüngli Travel Retail, our focus remains on developing premium partnerships to help make travellers’ journeys more magical. We also know that growing numbers of passengers are looking for premium, delicious and travel-exclusive gifts – in fact, finding the right gift is one of the prime purchase drivers to convert browsers into shoppers. The launch of LINDT Dark Caramel Sea Salt Edition and our strong partnership with Heinemann will reinforce our commitment to creating new and immersive experiences for travellers, to drive greater customer engagement and growth in the confectionery category.”

Rüdiger Stelkens, Director Purchasing Liquor, Tobacco, Confectionery and Fine Food at Gebr. Heinemann, said: “Gebr. Heinemann is always aiming to offer our customers an exciting product portfolio that brings additional value and which attracts all chocolate loving passengers. This is why we are focusing more and more on the possibilities of introducing Gebr. Heinemann exclusive products and new exclusive flavours of strong brands. The powerful cooperation between Lindt and Gebr. Heinemann has enabled both parties to offer our customers this exclusive flavour, LINDT Dark Caramel Sea Salt, for one year limited at Heinemann shops as well as at selected stores from Gebr. Heinemann’s distribution customers. We are very much looking forward to implementing this listing opportunity, giving our customers the chance to experience this flavour and to further grow the complete category of confectionery.”

An iconic team unites football fans and chocolate lovers with treats for travellers and a new duty-free exclusive product, the Cadbury Premier League Ball.

Mondelez World Travel Retail (WTR) has scored again, leveraging its Cadbury – Premier League partnership through the global launch of a travel retail exclusive ‘Cadbury Premier League Ball 290g’. The product, which is available in-store now, is complemented by multiple digital activations across several airports. These activities provide another platform for Cadbury to engage travellers through the excitement of the Premier League, as well as the potential to convert football fans that are not yet familiar with the brand into Cadbury lovers.

A treat with a kick

The travel retail exclusive Cadbury Premier League Ball 290g hit shelves last month. The ball contains 27 individually-wrapped miniatures and offers a tasty mix of some of Cadbury’s most beloved flavors, including creamy Dairy Milk, gooey Caramel and crunchy Wholenut. The unique design of the purple and white football is a playful aspect that attracts football and chocolate lovers of all ages. Available in travel retail worldwide, this star product has already been recognized within the industry as the winner of the May 2019 edition of the Frontier Buyers’ Forum.

Digital domination

Hot on the heels of last year’s floor-projecting football game, Mondelez WTR has implemented a fresh football-oriented activation which invites players to ‘kick and score’ against a virtual goalie. After purchasing a Cadbury product, players can test their skills, score goals and be rewarded with special edition Cadbury Premier League gifts for their efforts. This virtual reality game has been rolled out across several airports, from London’s Heathrow, Stansted and Luton airports to Singapore and Sydney. The activation will also pop up in Dublin from August through September and will revisit Stansted and Heathrow later in the year.

Lindt & Sprüngli Travel Retail officially launched the first stage of the Travel the World campaign in June at Zurich Airport, the home of LINDT.

The campaign will travel to further holiday destinations this year, including São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro in July, London Heathrow, Madrid, Barcelona and Dubai. It will be supported with an influencer and Instagram initiative with the hashtag #LINDTWORLDTRAVELLERCOLLECTION.

The latest research from Lindt & Sprüngli Travel Retail and NPD shows gifting remains one of the primary purchase driver in the confectionery category, with travellers frequently buying exclusive and destination-themed confectionery products as presents and souvenirs. As the gifting specialist in travel retail confectionery, LINDT is ideally placed to help retailers meet this customer demand and take full advantage of this growing opportunity.

Peter Zehnder, Head of the Lindt & Sprüngli global duty free division, said: “The summer holiday period traditionally leads to an uptick in confectionery sales, with more people travelling for leisure and looking for unique gifts and souvenirs to take home. Our research shows that all-important millennial travellers are increasingly seeking highly personalised gifts that evoke a genuine sense of place. Our latest Travel the World campaign, featuring our ever-popular LINDT Napolitains World Traveller Collection, will enable travel retailers to maximise sales from this trend and drive further growth in the confectionery category.”

International travellers are simply loving the chance to have their name on a bar of Toberone…

Mondelez World Travel Retail (WTR) has ushered in a modern, innovative approach to personalization in the confectionery category through travel retail’s number one chocolate brand, Toblerone. From the highly successful personalized sleeves for the iconic Toblerone 360g bar to the new customised message stickers for the Toblerone Tiny 272g bags, Mondelez WTR is delighting and capturing the hearts of travelling consumers by using digital to connect with them on an emotional level.

The Toblerone sleeve printer was launched for the first time in travel retail at the new Istanbul Airport in April 2019, providing travellers with the opportunity to print a fully customised message onto the famous gold packaging. The new personalization solution was an instant success; almost 7,000 sleeves were printed during the three-month promotional period, and the technology has since been rolled out to an additional 40 locations across Europe, Asia, Australia and most recently, the Middle East. Following the installation of the sleeve printer at Dubai International Airport at the end of last year, sales of the Toblerone 360g bars doubled in this location, resulting in double-digit growth for Mondelez WTR in January 2020 versus the previous year.

A brand new personalization solution was unveiled in Hong Kong International Airport in December 2019, enabling travellers to digitally print customized messages onto stickers to adorn the highly-giftable Toblerone Tiny 272g bags. The latest digital innovation from Mondelez WTR was well-received by shoppers, resulting in a high-single digit uplift for Toblerone in Hong Kong and almost 20 confirmed upcoming locations for the sticker printer across Europe, Asia, the Middle East and Latin America.

Toblerone first pioneered personalization in the confectionery category with ‘Messages’ in 2017, a novel way of packaging the iconic 360g bar that empowered travellers to express themselves through chocolate purchased as gifts. Since then, Mondelez WTR has persistently experimented with and delivered novel ways of keeping the personalization offering fresh and relevant, adding ‘digital’ to their ‘Delighting Travellers’ category vision in pursuit of category growth. From the launch of the ribbon printer in 2018 to a recent trial that used QR code stickers on Toblerone Tiny bags to share personalized videos, Mondelez WTR has trialled a number of contemporary solutions. Through constant innovation and scaling up the most successful initiatives, the confectionery category leader has made personalization more accessible and an integral part of the confectionery offering in travel retail.

Created specifically for the travelling consumer, and exclusive to duty-free and travel retail, Joseph’s will be launched early 2021.

As well as expecting high quality products, consumers today demand that brands behave in a caring and sustainable manner and make a positive contribution to our world. Joseph’s is such a brand. “Our chocolates are SO GOOOD FOR THE PLANET, COCOA FARMERS AND THEIR CHILDREN.”

Joseph’s is produced in the heart of Brussels, by Manufacture Belge de Chocolats, a division of Godiva Japan. Not only are all ingredients 100% natural, all their chocolate is sourced through the Cocoa Horizons Foundation thereby helping support thousands of cocoa farmers with sustainable techniques to professionalise their business, and to ensure they can prosper and be self-sufficient for generations to come.

Sustainability also strongly influences the packaging design. The beautiful gift boxes avoid the use of superfluous elements. The cardboard and paper are FSC certified and 100% recyclable. Plastic, where used, is made from 80% recycled material and is in turn 100% recyclable. All of this is greatly appreciated by confectionery shoppers in duty free.

Nestlé have announced that its popular Smarties brand is now using recyclable paper packaging for its main confectionery products worldwide.

This represents a transition of 90% of the Smarties range and follows the launch of the Smarties sharing block with recyclable paper packaging in the UK last year (domestic market only) Smarties is the first global confectionery brand to switch to recyclable paper packaging.

Alexander von Maillot, Global Head of Confectionery at Nestlé, said: “Shifting Smarties packaging to recyclable paper is one of our key sustainable packaging initiatives in the confectionery category. It is a further step in realizing Nestlé’s ambition to make all of its packaging recyclable or reusable by 2025 and to reduce its use of virgin plastics by one third in the same period.”

The new Smarties paper packaging is sourced sustainably and is made of a coated paper, paper labels or carton board. Smarties packaging is recyclable in the countries where Smarties are sold, except in limited markets where the recycling of this material is not currently viable. Information about how to properly dispose of Smarties paper packaging is also included on its labels to raise consumer awareness.

Louise Barrett, Head of the Nestlé Confectionery Product Technology Centre in York, said: “The new packaging has been extensively tested by Nestlé packaging experts to make sure it keeps the Smarties product in prime condition during transport and storage. We also made a number of modifications to our existing manufacturing lines so that we can wrap the products without tearing or puncturing the paper.”

Nestlé invested significantly to upgrade its factories globally, including in Hamburg, Germany, one of the company’s largest factories for confectionery products.

The transformation of the Smarties packaging is only one of the brands’ ‘SMART Initiatives’, which aim to support sustainability and enhance the overall product experience.

In travel retail specifically Nestlé International Travel Retail (NITR) has led the way with Smarties’ sustainability ambitions, introducing a new version of its Travel Retail Exclusive Music Creator in May of last year. With a new carton box replacing single use-plastic packaging, 2021 will see its full SMARTIES range change to recyclable paper packaging as follows:

Giant Tube: plastic lid replacement with cardboard closing and shape change to giant hexatube;

Toppers: Giant tube change to new giant hexatube (same weight) with paper sticker;

Plastic bag/pouch: complete change to sturdy paper with protective qualities.

“We at NITR are extremely proud to be part of Nestlé’s global ambition to be a leader in sustainability,” says NITR general manager Stewart Dryburgh.
