Knoppers waffle snack

Knoppers is a well-known brand of milk and hazelnut cream-filled wafers that was first launched in Germany in 1983. It is characterized by its layering of crispy wafers, milky cream, and hazelnut filling, often marketed as a morning snack. The brand is a staple in the European confectionery market and has recently expanded into other snack formats like candy bars.

The production of Knoppers primarily takes place in Germany, managed by the August Storck KG. The company maintains central production facilities in Germany to ensure consistent quality across its global distribution network. As a family-owned enterprise, the ownership and branding remain tightly controlled within the original founding lineage.

August Storck KG is the ultimate owner of the brand. Headquartered in Berlin, Storck is one of the world's largest confectionery manufacturers, also owning other prominent brands such as Merci, Toffifee, and Werther's Original. The company remains independent and private, focusing on its heritage as a German chocolate and snack specialist.
