Manufacturing and origin

The primary and historically central production site for Kinder Schoko-Bons is Ferrero Ardennes in Arlon, Belgium — the Arlon plant is reported as the main/exclusive global manufacturing site for Schoko-Bons and supplies many export markets. At the same time, Ferrero operates additional production for specific local markets (for example, Kinder Schoko-Bons Crispy produced at Ferrero’s Baramati plant in India for the Indian market). For these reasons manufacturing is best described as primarily in Belgium but also produced in other locations. (ferrero.com)

Brand origin and ownership

The Kinder brand was created by the Italian confectioner Ferrero, founded by Pietro Ferrero in Alba, Italy; Ferrero SpA is the original company behind Kinder. The ultimate corporate owner of the Kinder brand is the Ferrero Group, whose consolidated holding company Ferrero International S.A. (registered in Luxembourg) serves as the group's parent in financial and corporate filings. Ferrero remains a private, family-controlled confectionery group operating globally. (en.wikipedia.org)

Practical note

Packaging sold in different regions may list a specific country of origin (for example, many European retail and duty-free listings show "Country of origin: Belgium" for Kinder Schoko-Bons when produced at Arlon). For accuracy in supply-chain or regulatory contexts, check the product carton or wrapper for the printed "Made in / Country of origin" statement and the manufacturer address or contact for the specific lot.
