Haribo Goldbears (Goldbären)

Haribo Goldbears are one of the world's most iconic gummy candies. Founded in 1920 by Hans Riegel in Bonn, Germany, the brand's name is an acronym for HAns RIegel BOnn. The original 'Dancing Bear' evolved into the modern 'Goldbear' that became globally famous.

Today, Haribo remains a family-owned business, headquartered in Grafschaft, Germany. While the brand is deeply rooted in German tradition, production now takes place at multiple factories across Europe and the United States to meet global demand. Haribo continues to lead the gummy sector under the ownership of the Riegel family holding.
