Wurther's Original

Werther's Original is a celebrated brand of caramel candies with a history dating back to 1909. Created by Gustav Nebel in the small town of Werther, Germany, the candy was originally marketed as Werthers Echte. The recipe, involving real butter and fresh cream, became the foundation for a global brand synonymous with traditional caramel sweets.

The product is primarily manufactured in Germany by August Storck KG, maintaining strict quality standards and using the original confectionery techniques established over a century ago. Over the decades, the product line has expanded from the classic hard candy to include chewy caramels, soft éclairs, and sugar-free varieties, all of which are distributed internationally.

August Storck KG remains the ultimate owner of the brand. As a family-owned German company, it has successfully transitioned Werther's Original into a global household name while keeping its corporate headquarters in Berlin. The brand does not operate under major conglomerate subsidiaries, but rather through Storck's own international distribution networks located in various global markets.
