Anders Bergene
Anders Edvard Olsen Bergene (16 June 1855 – 1920) was a Norwegian businessperson. He founded the chocolate company Bergene.
He was born in Hedrum, but eventually moved to Kristiania (Oslo). He worked as a wholesaler from 1882, and from 1890 he also sold self-produced candy. In 1906 he expanded to establish a chocolate factory A. Bergene Chokoladefabrik at Rodeløkka.[1] In 1919, one year before his death, the ownership was transferred to his son Alf Bergene. The company became a limited company in 1961 under the name Bergene, and merged with Nidar in 1980. Its chocolate production in Oslo ceased in 2001.[2]
