Chupa Chups is a Spanish lollipop company founded by the Catalan employer Enric Bernat in 1958, and owned by multinational corporation Perfetti Van Melle.

 Guardian | Enric Bernat
The lollipop magnate, Enric Bernat, who has died aged 80, was the archetype of a Catalan self-made businessman.
Bernat's lollipop did not melt in the heat of kids' hands or Spanish summers.
It was the last tribute to Bernat's achievement that the only bank securities required to raise money were the Chupa Chups brand itself and his Gaudi house.

 Guardian Unlimited | Obituaries | Enric Bernat
He called his firm Chupa Chups (something like Sucky Sucks), constructed his own machinery, hired Salvador Dalí to design the logo, and sold the striped round sweets on wooden sticks at one peseta each.
In 1958, Spain's economy was just about to take off: wages were still very low due to the Franco dictatorship and the country was opening up to foreign investment and trade.
In 1991, Bernat relinquished formal control of Chupa Chups to his children, who last year had to cede family control when they ran into undercapitalisation difficulties in China.

Bernat decided it was time to offer a solution not only for the grubby children but also their exasperated parents!
The first lollipop blue print was named "gol";, which is Spanish for goal and referred to the lollipop's resemblance to a football (and maybe had a little to do with Spain's preoccupation with soccer?).
However, Bernat was after a name with a bit more flare and so he turned to an advertising agency for advice.

 Essay Info :: Chupa Chups strategy
Chupa Chups has been sticking out its brightly colored tongue at convention since 1957, when Enric Bernat, a third-generation candy maker, took over an ailing Spanish confectioner and melted down its 200 products to focus on producing a single line of quality lollipops.
Within five years, Chupa Chups sales reps were servicing 300,000 outlets around Spain with a fleet of Seat-600 minicars and instructing shopkeepers to place the company's porcupine-like displays as close to the cash register as possible -- a break from the traditional policy of keeping candy in glass jars behind counters, far from little fingers.

Faced with this continued slide into the red, the Bernat family has agreed to an increase in capital in a bid to raise financing for the company and reduce its debts.
But with the company which makes the famous lollipops on the verge of going broke, the family was at risk of owning the brand rights to a product which was no longer being made, and decided that the time had come to transfer the rights to the company.
