Haribo Złote Misie

Haribo Złote Misie (Goldbears) is one of the most iconic confectionery products globally, known for its fruit-flavored gummy bears. The brand was founded in 1920 by Hans Riegel in Bonn, Germany, with the name being an acronym for Hans Riegel Bonn. The Goldbears themselves were introduced in 1922 and have since become a flagship product for the company.

While the brand originated in Germany, Haribo has expanded its manufacturing footprint significantly. It operates production facilities across Europe, including Germany, Austria, Belgium, France, Spain, and more recently, the United States. In Poland, Haribo is a market leader and distributes both imported versions and products tailored to local preferences. The company remains a family-owned enterprise, maintaining its independence from large global food conglomerates as of the mid-2020s and beyond.
