History

The company began as Matlow Bros. Ltd in a small factory in London in 1928

In 1940, The Blitz forced their business to relocate northwards to New Mills, Derbyshire, where it remains. Later, in 1975, they adopted their current title Swizzels Matlow Ltd.

Love Hearts

Swizzels Matlow Ltd.'s most popular product is Love Hearts. These are small, hard, round sweets upon which short love related messages or chat-up lines are printed.

This product has far surpassed being simply a sweet, and is now an iconic symbol with its own website and product range. Almost any variation you can imagine on this theme is available including wedding favours, jewellery, personalised packets, corporate gifts, and home products.
