TIROL CHOCO CO., LTD.

How do good companies, products and jobs come to be? We believe they begin with smiles. Good products are created in a company where employees can work with a smile, and this brings smiles to the faces of customers and employees. Those smiles then lead to a chain reaction of smiles on the faces of family members and valued clients. It’s our mission to put a smile on your face.

A job that consumes a lot of a person’s life can’t be done alone.Colleagues should value one another, cooperate and lift one another up.Make a chain reaction of smiles a reality with the co-workers you laugh with every day.

FWe exist to make people smile.We ensure safety and security and strive for a kind of fun only we can create.Let’s do our best to enjoy ourselves and make a chain reaction of smiles a reality among our customers.

If you grow 1% each day, you’ll be 37 times larger a year later.Don’t work haphazardly. Always remain aware of how improvements can be made.Experience growth and make a chain reaction of smiles a reality in yourself.

President’s Message

It has been over 60 years since the debut of our Tirol Choco product brand, and along the way are numerous changes in taste and design. As the time changes, we too will have to change and innovate. However, if there is one thing that we must never change, it’s our commitment to bring out “smiles” from everyone.

When we established our Mission, Vision and Motto in the year 2020, one common theme among all is “smiles”. To our employees who work hard everyday and their supportive families. To customers and valued clients, who have supported our products and continue to do so for over 100 years. To people from many parts of Asia across the sea. We want to bring a smile to everyone. We want to realize our dream of "Connecting smiles". This is our dearest wish taking shape.

Currently our company is working toward accomplising these 3 topics.
1.Increase our employee's satisfaction
2.Strengthen our marketing effort including fanbase cultivation
3.Expand our oversea market
All topics are necessary to our stated Mission.

We at Tirol Choco will continue to pour our passion and smiles into the limitless possibilities of chocolate, and dedicate to our work as a labor of love.
