 As a wholesale provision merchant,
CHARLES-AMEDEE KOHLER (1790- 1874) started by buying ready-made chocolate, but
finally went over to producing his own in 1830. Like Cailler and Suchard before
him, he strove constantly to improve and perfect thc popular types of chocolate.
In one of his experiments he succeeded in developing something which was going
to be of great benefit to the chocolate industry - hazelnut chocolate.
In
partnership with his son, he manufactured this new speciality in Lausanne. The Kohler factory
became a large operation following its amalgamation with the firm of Daniel
Peter.
