Chupa Chups S.A.
 PROFILE
Chupa Chups ("choopa choops") might be hard to say, but its products just roll off the tongue. The company makes some four billion lollipops a year in more than 50 flavors. It also produces Smint mini-mints (aimed at adults) and Crazy Planet candy, chocolate, and bubble gum (aimed at children). Chupa Chups sells candy in about 170 countries; more than 90% of sales are outside of Spain. Surrealist artist Salvador Dali designed the Chupa Chups daisy-shaped logo. The company licenses the Chupa Chups name to makers of clothing and novelties. Founded in 1958 by Enric Bernat, Chupa Chups is owned by the Bernat family, including Enric's son, president Xavier Bernat.
