Loacker (, ) is an Austrian-Italian confectionery company based in South Tyrol, specialized in the production of wafers, chocolate and derivative products.
==History== thumb|Loacker's Quadratini wafer biscuitsThe company was founded in 1925 in the historic city center of Bolzano by the Austrian confectioner Alfons Loacker. Back then, he opened a small store with two assistants in Piazza Domenicani. In 1974, Loacker moved away from the city, marking the transition from a small regional bakery to an industrial reality. Armin Loacker, Alfons' son, chose the Renon plateau in the heart of the Dolomites to produce his own wafers.
