1970 - European fame

Basilio died on 2 April 1970 and he left Confiserie Leonidas bvba to his brothers and sisters. Jean Kesdekoglu-Kestekides took over and after a while his daughter Maria Kesdekoglu-Kestekides started to help out.

From that moment, things really took off for Leonidas. The pralines were sold in Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, Germany, Greece and the United Kingdom.

Anyone who tried Leonidas pralines just couldn’t get enough. The delicious chocolate was loved by everyone. Production expanded and Confiserie Leonidas nv bought the old Crown-Baele factory in Anderlecht. And that’s the Leonidas factory in Anderlecht we know today at Graindorlaan 41-43, where the headquarters are located as well.

Leonidas

Sustainable Cocoa

Since 1 October 2021, we at Leonidas are using certified cocoa to make our chocolates. A transition that makes perfect sense, given that since 1913 we have been striving to create moments of happiness for everyone with chocolate.

Thanks to this certification, the living and working conditions of 2.450 cocoa growers and their families have been improved.

By supporting a fair and stable wage for the growers, we participate in our own way in building a better world for humanity and the planet.

For more happiness and because Leonidas chocolates wish to be accessible to everyone, we assume all the costs involved in this commitment to sustainable cocoa without increasing our retail prices.
