Chocolate & Sweets in Merthyr Tydfil

Manufacturing has long shaped Merthyr Tydfil, and confectionery forms part of that continuing industrial story. In Dowlais, wafer making dates back to the late 1930s, while the current manufacturing site produces chocolate and wafer products within a wider European confectionery business. This gives the county a distinctive large-scale presence in the chocolate and sweets category, rooted in more than 75 years of local wafer production.
