The average Dane’s consumption of chocolate and sweets amounts to sixteen kilogrammes a year – the highest in the world. This is not a bad starting point for the import company Scan Choco which was established in 1972, and which has seen an annual growth rate of some 20 per cent in recent years. This has made the company one of the largest privately owned import companies in Denmark within the confectionary industry. The primary import markets are the other EU countries, with Belgium playing a prominent role as a chocolate manufacturer.

Accounting for 40 per cent of the company’s total sales, children’s sweets and trend articles do, however, occupy an unrivalled leading place in the product range. This development has been stimulated by the introduction of a Pick'n'Mix system, SLIKMIX, including displays, which has been set up in grocery shops, mini markets, service stations and newsagents. As an exponent of the sweet tooth, the Holme-based company has also developed Sweet Logo, a range of personalised sweets and chocolate for, among others, companies and cafés as well as gift boxes with logos/company names.
