Leading premium confectionery brand Lindt & Sprüngli is partnering with confectionery distributor and retailer Focus Network Agencies (FNA Group International) and Changi Airport Group to open its first travel retail boutique outside of Switzerland.
The 35-square-meter boutique is scheduled to open at Singapore Changi Airport Terminal 1 in March 2025, marking a significant step in Lindt’s strategic expansion in the Asia Pacific region.
