Red Band Dropfruit Duo's

Red Band is a renowned confectionery brand originally founded in 1928 in Roosendaal, Netherlands, by T.J. Sweens. The brand became famous for its wide variety of sweets, including winegums, licorice (drop), and the iconic 'Dropfruit Duo's' which combine the flavors of sweet fruit and savory licorice in a single gummy. Over the decades, Red Band has established itself as a staple in the Dutch and Scandinavian candy markets.

Today, Red Band is part of the Cloetta Group, a leading Northern European confectionery company. While the brand has deep Dutch roots, its production is distributed across Cloetta's modern manufacturing facilities. The primary production for Red Band products remains in the Netherlands, notably at Cloetta's factory in Roosendaal, ensuring that the brand maintains its local heritage and high quality standards while operating under a multi-national corporate structure headquartered in Sweden.
