Founded in 1932, Imperial stands as the largest national chocolate manufacturer and home to some of Portugal’s most beloved iconic brands: Regina, Pantagruel, Pintarolas, and Jubileu. The company develops and produces a wide range of products, with a strong presence in the segments of chocolate tablets, pralines, assortments, chocolate-covered nuts, chocolate dragees, and baking chocolate.

Imperial’s brands enjoy strong performance in the Portuguese chocolate market, clearly reflected in their results. Regina is particularly recognized in the segment of chocolate-covered nuts, while Jubileu stands out as a leading brand in the almonds segment in Portugal.

In the baking segment, Pantagruel holds a leading market position, and Pintarolas has shown remarkable growth, leading the children’s dragee category and earning a strong reputation across Europe in this segment.

On the international stage, Imperial has been expanding and consolidating its presence by introducing and marketing its brands across Europe, Africa, the Americas, and Asia.

Innovation is a strategic priority for the company, reflected in a dynamic pipeline of new product launches aligned with major market trends—such as high-cocoa chocolates, sugar-free or reduced-sugar options, high-fiber products, as well as gluten-free and vegan varieties.
