Storck Knoppers Wafel

Brand History and Ownership

Knoppers is a globally recognized milk-hazelnut wafer snack that was first introduced in 1983. The brand was created by August Storck KG, a family-owned German confectionery company with a long-standing history dating back to 1903. Known for its layers of crispy wafer, milk cream, and hazelnut filling, Knoppers has grown from a domestic German snack to an international favorite sold in over 50 countries.

Manufacturing and Corporate Structure

The product is primarily manufactured in Germany, specifically at August Storck KG's production facilities in Berlin or Halle (Westphalia). The brand remains under the ultimate ownership of the Storck family through August Storck KG, which is headquartered in Berlin, Germany. The company operates as a private entity and manages several other famous confectionery brands such as Werther's Original, Toffifee, and Merci. Depending on the region, such as Poland (where the provided image appears to be taken based on the shelf labeling), the product is distributed by a local subsidiary, Storck Sp. z o.o.
