Klène Suikervrij drop

Klène is a historic Dutch brand of liquorice (drop) and confectionery founded in 1876 by Johannes Coenraad Klène. Known as 'The Netherlands' only real liquorice maker,' the brand has a long-standing reputation for quality and innovation, including early adoption of sugar-free recipes. The manufacturing continues to have a strong base in the Netherlands, specifically in Hoorn, though modern supply chains involve broader European logistics. Since 1999, Klène has been a part of the Perfetti Van Melle group, a global leader in the confectionery industry formed by the merger of the Italian Perfetti and Dutch Van Melle companies. This ownership ensures that while the brand remains deeply rooted in Dutch heritage, it benefits from a world-class distribution network.
