Malaco Other Candy Wholesale & Bulk
Malaco is Swedish. In the US it’s mostly known for Skipper’s Pipe, which comes in sea salt and original licorice. Swedish Fish candy is in the line too. So are Euro Pez refills. All of it comes from Sweden. The Skipper’s Pipe counts are 15, 20 and 25 pieces, in both flavors.
Malaco is a long-standing Swedish candy name. Skipper’s Pipe licorice is the big one. Swedish Fish and Euro Pez refills fill out the rest. That makes eight SKUs. All bulk and all from Sweden, with cases from 0.26 lb to 2 lb. If your shop sells Swedish candy, the Malaco line has the formats your customers already know. Import groceries and novelty sections can use it too.
Skipper’s Pipe: The Core Malaco Format
Skipper’s Pipe is the one people ask about by name. It’s a pipe-shaped licorice with a hollow center, and it’s been part of Swedish candy for decades. Two flavors, Original Licorice and Sea Salt Licorice, each in a few different counts. The Original is soft and only mildly sweet. That’s the old Scandinavian standard, and expats and Nordic candy fans go looking for it. Sea Salt has a measured salty note. If your customers have drifted from sweet toward salty licorice, they’ll likely pick that one.
Counts are 15-piece, 20-piece and 25-piece. The 15 suits single sales or samples, or tucking into a basket. For display bags the 20 and the 25 fit better, since shoppers expect more in the pack. Carry two or three counts of one flavor and you cover a few price points without taking on another brand.
Swedish Fish and Euro Pez
Malaco Pastel Swedish Fish Candy is the Swedish-made take on the fish-shaped fruit candy. It’s soft and pastel with a mild fruit flavor. It isn’t quite the American Swedish Fish, and shoppers who want the real Swedish origin story go looking for it. We’d drop it in a bulk bin or a pick-mix display. Shops with customers who remember the original might treat it as a nostalgia piece. Malaco Euro Pez Candy Refills are a different animal, a collectible. Pez fans and import candy buyers who stock European accessories like them, since domestic channels rarely carry them. The cases are tiny at 0.26 lb, so adding a set next to bigger items is an easy way to test.

Pack Format and Weight Range
Weights start at 0.26 lb for the Euro Pez refills and top out at 2 lb for the Swedish Fish bulk. Skipper’s Pipe sits in between, with bigger counts weighing more. It’s all bulk, which leaves the presentation to you. Most cases are light enough that you can stock several SKUs and still have shelf left over. Sweden is the only country of origin across the line, which keeps the story simple for shops that merchandise by country. These are the same products sold in Swedish grocery stores and candy shops.
Who Buys Malaco Wholesale
Scandinavian specialty stores and Nordic import shops carry the full Skipper’s Pipe range. Their Swedish customers ask for it by name. A candy shop building a Swedish or Nordic section can anchor it with Malaco next to other Scandinavian brands. Import grocers with a European candy shelf do the same. An expat recognizes the format from home and buys it with no sample and no sales pitch.
Basket makers doing a Scandinavian theme or an international candy collection can use the Skipper’s Pipe packs to add some geography. Candy subscription boxes often feature Malaco in a Swedish edition. The Euro Pez refills serve a smaller crowd, mostly collectible candy shops and Pez fans looking for European accessories that domestic distributors don’t carry.
Merchandising Notes
Skipper’s Pipe Original and Sea Salt belong together with the counts clearly labeled, since people who know it compare count and flavor before picking. Pastel Swedish Fish are fine in a bulk bin or near other Swedish gummies. Euro Pez refills sit by candy accessories or novelty items. If you can manage it, a Swedish Candy sign helps Scandinavian customers who scan shelves by country. In an import section a small origin flag or shelf label is worth the effort too.
Storage Notes
Soft licorice like Skipper’s Pipe likes a cool room. Heat makes pieces soften or stick. The pipe shape is delicate. Heat can collapse the hollow center and that hurts how it looks and eats. Keep cases dry and out of direct sun. Swedish Fish and Euro Pez refills are happier at room temperature than the soft licorice is. Rotate display stock oldest first, the soft licorice most of all, so the texture stays right.
Seasonal and Community-Driven Demand
Skipper’s Pipe peaks around Scandinavian holidays and community events. Swedish Midsommar celebrations in Swedish-American communities bring local demand to nearby specialty stores. Nordic import shops in Minneapolis and Seattle sell Malaco all year, and Chicago and similar cities do too. Euro Pez refills get a small bump at children’s gift occasions. Swedish Fish have a summer life too, in beach-theme displays and summer candy, where a fish shape feels natural next to a coastal setup. That’s a second channel beyond the Scandinavian specialty core.

Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the minimum order for Malaco candy?
No minimum. Start with one case if you like. Weights run 0.26 lb to 2 lb. That’s lighter than most bulk candy since the pieces are small, so a specialty shop can carry the brand in small quantities.
What’s the difference between Skipper’s Pipe Original and Sea Salt?
Original Skipper’s Pipe leans sweet, with a mild herbal note, so it’s easygoing. Sea Salt has a pronounced salty kick, which pushes it toward the salty licorice Swedish candy is known for. Either one is softer than a hard Dutch salmiak piece.
Are the Malaco Pastel Swedish Fish the same as the Swedish Fish sold in US grocery stores?
Related, but not the same. Malaco Pastel Swedish Fish are the original Swedish version. They have pastel coloring and a softer texture. The flavor is somewhat different too, and they come from Sweden. The one sold widely in the US is a domestic product that goes back to that Swedish shape but has since changed on its own.
Do you ship Malaco candy to Canada?
No. We only ship within the US. Approved wholesale accounts get account pricing, and orders go out by the case.
How do I pay for a Malaco order?
You pay by card at checkout and the order’s confirmed once payment clears. Apply through the wholesale application. Our team checks your details, and once approved you get account pricing.
Can I order specific count sizes of Skipper’s Pipe individually?
Yes. The 15-piece, 20-piece and 25-piece counts are separate SKUs, so any one can be ordered by itself with no minimum. Nobody’s asking you to bundle sizes. Pick whatever fits your price point or what your customers like.
