Since 1924, Astra Sweets has been crafting confectionery with passion, innovation, and tradition. What began as a small Belgian spiced cake factory has grown into a powerhouse of European candy manufacturing—home to iconic sweets like UFOs, Rocket Balls, and marshmallows under the beloved Frisia brand.
With nearly a century of expertise, Astra Sweets combines authentic flavors with forward-thinking creativity. From sour-filled UFOs recognized as a Flemish regional specialty to hard candies packed with surprise centers, each treat is a sensory experience. The company’s historic ties to Dutch brands de Faam and Frisia further solidify its legacy, bringing generations of candy-making craftsmanship under one sweet roof.
Today, Astra Sweets continues to lead the European candy scene—pioneering taste, texture, and delight in every bite.
