Manufacturing

While Kinder is an Italian-born brand, production of specific Kinder products—including Kinder Riegel—occurs across Ferrero’s global factory network. Public and trade sources indicate Kinder Riegel production is concentrated in Germany for many European markets, with additional manufacturing capacity for Kinder items in Italy, Belgium and other Ferrero plants worldwide. This distributed production model helps Ferrero supply regional markets efficiently. (madeometer.com)

Ownership and corporate structure

The Kinder brand was created by Ferrero S.p.A. and remains part of the Ferrero Group. Ferrero is a privately held, family-owned company founded in 1946; it remains the ultimate owner of the Kinder brand and continues to invest in manufacturing and distribution infrastructure globally (including recent expansions in North America). Ferrero operates regionally through subsidiaries such as Ferrero Deutschland GmbH and Ferrero North America / Ferrero USA, Inc. for local production, distribution and commercial operations.
