Hero Mini Mix is a variety pack of fruit spreads produced by the Hero Group, an international food company with a history dating back to 1886. Originally founded in Lenzburg, Switzerland, by Gustav Henckell and Gustav Zeiler, the brand is widely recognized for its high-quality jams and nutritional food products.

While the brand has Swiss roots, the manufacturing of its fruit spreads is distributed across several locations to optimize supply chains and utilize regional fruit harvests. For the Benelux market (where this specific packaging is sold), the products were historically associated with Breda in the Netherlands, though the Hero Group now utilizes various specialized facilities across Europe, including Germany (Schwartauer Werke), Spain, and formerly Switzerland. In late 2024, Hero ceased jam production at its historic Lenzburg site, shifting focus to other international production hubs.

Today, Hero remains a privately-held family company under the majority ownership of the Oetker family (specifically Dr. Arend Oetker), maintaining its global headquarters in Lenzburg while operating as a major player in the healthy snacks, baby food, and fruit spread markets worldwide.
