Nidar Bjørnunger

Nidar is one of Norway's most iconic confectionery brands, with a history dating back to its establishment in Trondheim in 1912. The brand is synonymous with Norwegian candy culture, producing a wide range of chocolates, gummies, and licorice. Bjørnunger, which translates to 'Bear Cubs', is a popular gummy candy product within their extensive lineup, known for its soft texture and fruity flavors.

While Nidar originated as an independent Norwegian company, it underwent several mergers throughout the 20th century, most notably with Bergene in 1980. Today, the brand is a core part of the Orkla Group's portfolio. Manufacturing remains primarily centered at the historic Nidar factory in Trondheim, Norway, where the company continues to maintain its heritage while operating under the umbrella of one of the largest industrial conglomerates in the Nordic region.
