HARIBO gummy bears

Haribo is the world's leading manufacturer of gummy candies, most famous for its 'Goldbears' gummy bears. The brand was founded in 1920 in Bonn, Germany, by Hans Riegel Sr. The name is an acronym derived from the founder's name and city: HAns RIegel BOnn.

Today, Haribo is a global powerhouse with production sites across Europe and North America. While its roots and headquarters remain in Germany, the company produces its sweets in dozens of locations, including Turkey, the UK, Austria, and the United States, to satisfy international demand. The company remains a family-owned enterprise, managed through the Riegel family trusts, maintaining its independence from major multinational food conglomerates.
