history
Bensdorp- Wien produced the Bobby bar for the first time in 1967 . On the packaging, instead of the O, a head with a bowler hat , lorgnon , mustache and bow tie was depicted. The Unilever GesmbH took over in 1973 Bensdorp GmbH and thus entered the confectionery industry. In 1986 Jacobs Suchard took over Bensdorp. The chocolate bar line was relocated from Tulln to Salzburg / Grödig in 1987, to the Mirabell branch founded in 1948. In 1994 the plant was sold to the Tyrolean Pöll family.
