Bassett's Wine Gums

Brand origin and history

Bassett's began as George Bassett & Co., founded in Sheffield, England in the 19th century and became known for sweets such as Liquorice Allsorts and Wine Gums. (en.wikipedia.org)

Manufacturing and production

Traditional production of Bassett's sweets (including wine gums) has been centered in Sheffield (Owlerton/Hillsborough) at the Cadbury/Mondelez factory site; the combined Maynards–Bassett's manufacturing footprint also includes other facilities internationally (for example Maynards production in Canada), so production occurs in multiple countries though historically and primarily in the UK.

Ownership and branding

Bassett's was acquired into the Cadbury group and, following corporate changes, the Bassett's and Maynards ranges were merged into the Maynards Bassetts portfolio in 2016. The combined brand portfolio is owned by Mondelez International, which is the ultimate owner and operates the brands globally. (en.wikipedia.org)
