Bahlsen biscuit

Bahlsen is a renowned German family enterprise in the bakery industry. Founded in 1889 by Hermann Bahlsen in Hanover, Germany, the company revolutionized the industry by introducing the first packaged biscuit in Europe. The brand is particularly famous for its Leibniz-Keks, which remains a staple of its product line.

Manufacturing primarily takes place in Germany, particularly at its historical plants in Barsinghausen and Varel, though the company also maintains production facilities in Poland to serve international markets. The brand is known for its high-quality ingredients and distinct 'TET' logo, an ancient Egyptian symbol representing perennial life, which was adopted by the founder to signify the shelf-life of his products.

Today, Bahlsen remains an independent family-owned company. It is currently managed and owned by the Bahlsen family, maintaining its status as one of the few large German food companies that has not been acquired by a major global conglomerate. The company continues to operate from its headquarters in Hanover, Germany, focusing on traditional recipes alongside modern sustainable practices.
