Kinder Schokolade — origin, manufacturing and ownership

Kinder Schokolade (commonly presented on packaging as "Kinder Schokolade" under the Kinder brand) is a milk chocolate bar with a milky filling originally created by the Italian confectionery company Ferrero. The Kinder range was introduced by Ferrero as a child-focused chocolate brand in the late 1960s and has since grown into a global product family.

Manufacturing

Kinder Schokolade is manufactured in multiple countries. Ferrero operates several production facilities across Europe and worldwide, and finished Kinder products sold in a given market are frequently produced regionally to serve local demand and comply with local labeling and supply-chain requirements. Because production location can vary by batch and market, individual packages should be checked for the exact "Made in" or manufacturing-country statement when precise origin is required.

Brand and ownership

The brand originated in Italy under Ferrero (Ferrero SpA). Today the ultimate owner is Ferrero Group, a privately held company headquartered in Alba, Italy. Ferrero Group retains global ownership and manages the Kinder brand through its network of regional subsidiaries (for example, Ferrero Deutschland GmbH in Germany) and local distributors.

Practical note

If you need the precise manufacturing country for a specific pack of Kinder Schokolade (for regulatory, traceability, or procurement reasons), check the product packaging where Ferrero prints the manufacturing or packed-in country and batch codes. Production and distribution footprints can change over time, so the package statement is the authoritative source for that specific item.
