Swiss chocolate – a safe bet internationally
Switzerland enjoys an excellent reputation worldwide – and its chocolate even more so. Loved by tourists who visit Switzerland as well as consumers abroad, Swiss chocolate products are a symbol of quality, know-how and tradition.
The CD Group built its business model on the basis of this attractiveness. The company distributes several Swiss chocolate brands on the international markets. Its customers include duty-free shops, wholesalers and small grocery stores. The famous gold bars filled with pralines from the brand Goldkenn are among its bestsellers. The SwissDream creations, recognisable from their packaging inspired by Swiss imagery, are also very successful.
Every order counts for SMEs
The CD Group is a family-owned business founded in 1981. Like many SMEs, the company does not have the same financial reserves as a large group. The loss of just a single order can represent a significant risk.
Since 2015, the CD Group has been covering its exports through SERV. The supplier credit insurance covers in particular orders from CHF 40 000, with premiums that are available from CHF 250.
Global cover, even for short-term transactions
Today, the CD Group exports far beyond the borders of industrialised countries. Its typically Swiss chocolate products are attracting consumers in Brazil, India, Romania and South Africa. Markets where private insurance solutions are often limited, but where SERV has recognised expertise.
With transactions that are generally short term and of modest size, the CD Group fits perfectly with the profile of many of SERV’s clients. Although SERV also supports large groups with long-term projects, the majority of its client base is still made up of SMEs wanting to cover individual orders.
“The CD Group is a traditional family business focused on the future thanks to its innovative strength. We are delighted to support this ambitious SME with its international development.”

Security for the exporter, chocolate pleasure for the world
Thanks to SERV’s insurance solutions, the CD Group can continue to sell Swiss chocolate wherever people appreciate the flavours of Switzerland or are nostalgic about all things Swiss. A tangible way of developing its markets while promoting Swiss excellence abroad.
