India, Oct 15: CK Israni Group announces the forthcoming India debut of Confiserie Bachmann, the renowned Swiss family-owned confectionery and bakery house with a legacy spanning more than 125 years.

Founded in Switzerland in 1897, Bachmann has grown from a family bakery into one of the country’s most recognised names in pâtisserie, confectionery, chocolate and bakery. Still family- owned and now led by the fourth generation, the maison has built its reputation on craftsmanship, quality and a strong sense of identity that has remained intact across generations. Its arrival in India marks an important new chapter for the Swiss house and. reflects the growing appetite among Indian consumers for international brands defined not only by luxury, but by provenance, heritage and authenticity.

“We are proud to have found the ideal franchise partner in the CK Israni Group to establish the Bachmann brand in India. Since 1897, our handcrafted Swiss chocolate specialties have stood for the highest quality, traditional craftsmanship, and uncompromising indulgence. Together with the CK Israni Group, we look forward to making our exceptional Swiss delicacies available to consumers in India and successfully establishing the Bachmann brand in the Indian market.”  - Matthias & Raphael Bachmann, Owners, Confiseur Bachmann AG, Lucerne, Switzerland

The partnership further strengthens CK Israni Group’s portfolio of premium international food and hospitality brands and reflects its strategy of introducing distinctive global concepts to the Indian market while retaining the individual codes and heritage that define them.

For CK Israni Group, Bachmann’s relevance lies in the depth of its legacy as much as in its contemporary appeal. More than a century after its founding, the brand combines traditional craftsmanship with constant innovation and a modern, highly recognisable identity.

“Bachmann is the kind of legacy brand we believe has a natural relevance in India today. It is deeply rooted in craftsmanship and family tradition, while still being contemporary and distinctive in the way it presents itself. Indian consumers are increasingly looking for brands with genuine provenance and a story that extends beyond the product and we believe Bachmann has all the ingredients to build a meaningful presence here.”  - Chandni Nath Israni, Co-Founder & Managing Director, CK Israni Group

The India launch will bring Bachmann’s distinctive universe closer to Indian consumers, offering an introduction to a Swiss institution that has been shaped by four generations of the same family. Further details regarding Bachmann India, including its launch destination and opening, will be announced at a later stage.
