Chocolat Jacques is a Belgian firm which was founded in 1896 by Antoine Jacques (1858-1929) in Verviers. Production was later moved to Bruges and Eupen in the east of Belgium, where its headquarters were also located since 1923. In 1890, the trained confectioner Antoine Jacques, together with Jean Joseph Hardy, opened the first factory in Verviers under the name "Gingerbread Factory Hardy and Jacques, Verviers" and just one year later won a gold medal at the Liège Economic Exhibition. In 1894 they expanded their production to chocolate products and made this apparent in their new company name "Chocolate and gingerbread Hardy and Jacques, Verviers". In 1895, Jacques bought his first steam engine and parted ways with his partner Hardy a year later. From then on he ran his company for gingerbread, confectionery and chocolates alone with around 43 employees and was then known as "A. Jacques". More information...
