Hero Fruit Spreads

Hero is a renowned international brand specializing in fruit-based products, baby food, and healthy snacks. Founded in Lenzburg, Switzerland, in 1886, the company has built a global reputation for quality and preservation of natural flavors. The brand began as a small conserve factory and evolved into a multinational leader in the food industry.

Today, Hero remains an independent group with a strong commitment to sustainable sourcing and high manufacturing standards. While its roots are firmly planted in Switzerland, its production network spans several European countries to serve different regional markets. The group focuses heavily on 'goodness' through natural ingredients, maintaining a significant presence in both consumer retail and professional food service sectors.

Ownership of Hero remains largely private, overseen by the Hero Group. The company has expanded through strategic acquisitions over the decades but continues to operate under its original Swiss heritage and corporate headquarters in Lenzburg.
