Treets The Peanut Company Salted Peanuts

Treets The Peanut Company is a specialized confectionery brand rooted in Germany, focusing primarily on peanut-based snacks and chocolate treats. This specific product is a vegan-friendly version of their classic chocolate-coated salted peanuts, reflecting modern dietary trends while maintaining the brand's core legacy.

The brand has a storied history, originally launched by Mars, Inc. in the 1950s. However, the rights to the name were eventually acquired by the Katjes Group through its investment arm. Today, the brand is managed under the umbrella of Piasten GmbH, a major German confectionery manufacturer located in Forchheim. This transition has allowed Treets to re-establish itself as an independent 'Peanut Company' brand within the European market.

Manufacturing takes place primarily in Germany, specifically at the Piasten production facilities. The brand is now a key part of the Katjes International portfolio, benefitting from the parent company's focus on sustainable ingredients and the removal of animal-based gelatin and dairy in many of its newer product lines, such as the vegan Treets variant shown here.
