The history of Trolli started in 1948 with the founding of the confectionery company “Wilmed” by Willy Mederer – the father and role model of the current Trolli owner, Herbert Mederer. With his peppermint fondant as well as his cream cones and cream sticks, he convinced many sweet-toothed customers and constantly expanded the product range with new creations. The company became so successful that the 17-year-old son, Herbert Mederer, also joined in to help.
