Lambertz

Lambertz is a German confectionery company, most known for its diverse range of cookies, gingerbread, and chocolate products, particularly during the Christmas season. The company is based in Aachen, Germany, and has a long history dating back to 1688, when Johann Hinrich Lambertz began baking gingerbread.

The Lambertz Group encompasses several brands and subsidiaries, producing a wide assortment of baked goods that are distributed internationally. Its product line includes Printen (a type of gingerbread local to Aachen), Spekulatius (spiced shortcrust biscuits), Domino stones (gingerbread cubes layered with fruit jelly and marzipan, covered in chocolate), and a variety of other seasonal and year-round cookies and chocolates.

Lambertz is known for its scale and its presence in the global confectionery market. The company actively participates in industry events and sponsors various cultural and sporting activities. Its products are often sold in elaborately decorated tins and boxes, making them popular gift items. The company has faced criticism regarding labor practices in the past, similar to other large confectionery manufacturers.
