I am pleased to present to you our exciting line of quality chocolate and confection products. I have been involved in the business for over 44 years and continue our Swiss family tradition of "Old World Perfection in Confection". I grew up in a family home in Switzerland that was the site of a bakery business since the 16th Century. Certain professional tools from the bakery are still in my possession. This early period was a time when Jacques Cartier, the famous explorer discovered Canada. Our business of chocolate and confectionery manufacturing is an old family tradition that also originated over 150 years ago.

My family has attended many major international food exhibitions with great success. Amongst them, the Rey family won rewards in the Swiss National Exhibition in Zurich, 1939, seven gold medals for outstanding confectionery products in 1954 (Hospes Exhibitions, Berne, Switzerland) and in 1964 (Swiss National Exhibition, Lausanne, Switzerland). The awards reinforced my ambition. When I moved to British Columbia, I decided to try my hand at making high quality chocolate on Canadian soil. Rene Rey Swiss Chocolates Ltd. was established in 1974 in North Vancouver, B.C. and continued the Swiss tradition with award winning products. We develop new and exciting chocolate/confection products under the "Nature Canada" theme that are unique in the marketplace like Ice Wine and Maple Wine chocolates, Sun,Moon,Stars chocolates, Maple Nut chocolates and Maple Sugar chocolate products that have found many happy and satisfied customers. We are specialized in exporting our famous chocolates worldwide.

I'm looking forward to the future. The family name lives on, as my daughters are actively involved in the business. I thank you for choosing our quality chocolate products. Chocolate making is not just chemistry, but also magic and intuition. Enjoy.

Mr. Rene Rey
