Treating Australia to the world’s most iconic novelty confectionery since 1983.

Step into the wonderland of Universal.

Universal AU are the leading candy importers in Australia with a growing range of lollies, premium chocolates, beverages, sugar products and product licensing.

A simple vision: to share joy

In 1983 our founder, Jurgen Fengels (a young migrant from Germany), had a vision: to bring the world’s favourite confectionery brands to everyday Australians.

Since then, his humble family business has grown significantly to become the #1 novelty candy importer in Australia, and generations of Australians have grown up enjoying the best-selling candies and lollies that Universal AU acquires from overseas and local manufacturers.

Unrivalled distribution

Thanks to an unrivalled distribution network, Universal AU controls over 80% of the domestic novelty candy import market and has a growing footprint across Asia.

Our distribution partners supply confectionery from 148 wholesalers to over 40,000 retailers.
