Katjes Salte Fisk

Katjes Salte Fisk is a popular salty liquorice confectionery known for its iconic fish shape and firm texture. The product is part of Katjes' extensive range of sweets that prioritize vegetarian and vegan-friendly ingredients, prominently featuring labels that indicate they are made without animal gelatin. This commitment to plant-based production has made Katjes a leader in the sustainable confectionery market.

Founded in 1950, Katjes began its journey in Emmerich am Rhein, Germany, where it remains headquartered today. The brand was established by the Fassin family, specifically Xaver Fassin based on a recipe from his father. Over the decades, it has grown from a small family business into one of Europe's most significant independent candy manufacturers.

Today, the brand is owned and operated by the Katjes Group (Katjes Fassin GmbH & Co. KG), which remains a family-owned entity. The group has expanded through strategic acquisitions across Europe but maintains its primary manufacturing facilities within Germany. Their mission revolves around combining traditional confectionery recipes with modern dietary requirements, ensuring high-quality treats for a global audience.
