Griesson cookies and biscuits

Griesson is a traditional German biscuit brand known for its long-standing heritage in the bakery industry. Founded in 1924 by Hans Gries in Kobern-Gondorf, the brand began as a small family bakery and grew into one of Europe's leading sweet and savory snack manufacturers. The brand is particularly famous for its Soft Cake and Cafe Musica assortments.

Today, the brand operates as part of Griesson - de Beukelaer, which was formed following a significant merger in 1999. The company maintains several high-tech production facilities throughout Germany, specifically in Polch (Rhineland-Palatinate), Kahla (Thuringia), and Wurzen (Saxony). This ensuring high quality standards and supporting regional agriculture through ingredient sourcing.

The ultimate owner remains the Gries and de Beukelaer families, maintaining its status as a private family-owned enterprise. The company stands as one of the few large-scale European confectionery businesses that has successfully avoided acquisition by global conglomerates, preserving its independent identity and focus on German manufacturing excellence.
