A LITTLE MORE HISTORY History of biscuit tins 1822Thomas Huntley opens a bakery in Reading / England. His baked goods become so popular that he is confronted with the challenge of transporting his delicate goods undamaged to other places as well. His brother, an iron and coppersmith, comes up with a solution: he creates a container made from wood and iron sheet. Later, the iron sheet is coated with tin and thus the tin-plated biscuit tin is born. 1841The business flourishes and in order to keep up with the high demand, Thomas Huntley, together with the engineer George Palmer, automates his business. 1870Many such tins made by Huntley & Palmers can be found in the Läckerli Huus collection of historical biscuit tins. One of the oldest coloured tins. 1904Right from the very beginning, André Klein, the founder of what is today Läckerli Huus, uses decorative tins as packaging for his confectionery specialities, and they also serve as a practical and inexpensive advertising medium.André Klein soon begins to specialise in the production of Basler Läckerli, as well as a range of other delicacies. This proves to be a great success. After only a few years he builds an automated production facility
