Kinder Schokolade

Kinder Chocolate (Kinder Schokolade) is an iconic confectionery product that originated in 1968. It was specifically developed in Alba, Italy, by Michele Ferrero with the intention of creating a chocolate treat that parents would feel comfortable giving to children, marketed under the famous 'more milk, less cocoa' slogan. Since its introduction, it has become one of the most recognizable global chocolate brands for children.

The manufacturing of Kinder products is highly decentralized across the globe to meet international demand. Significant production facilities are located in Italy, Germany, Poland, and France. The German market is particularly important, as German consumers were among the first to embrace the brand, leading to massive production centers in locations like Stadtallendorf.

The brand is owned by Ferrero International S.A., a massive family-owned multinational chocolate and confectionery manufacturer. Despite its global reach, Ferrero maintains strict control over its recipes and production standards, keeping the ultimate ownership firmly within the Ferrero family and headquartered in Luxembourg.
