Haribo Happy Easter fruit gummies

Haribo is a globally recognized confectionery brand famous for inventing the gummy bear. Founded in 1920 by Hans Riegel Sr. in Bonn, Germany, the company name is an acronym for its founder and city: HAns RIegel BOnn.

Starting from a small kitchen with just a sack of sugar and a copper kettle, Haribo has grown into a multinational leader in the sweets industry. The brand remains a family-owned business, with ownership passed down through generations. Today, it is controlled by holding companies belonging to the heirs of Hans Riegel Jr. and Paul Riegel, ensuring the company maintains its traditional values and independent status.

Manufacturing takes place worldwide to meet high demand. While the global headquarters is located in Grafschaft, Germany (after moving from Bonn in 2018), the company operates 16 production sites across 10 countries. These include multiple facilities in Germany, as well as plants in France, the United Kingdom, Austria, Spain, Turkey, Brazil, and recently, the United States. Special seasonal editions like the 'Happy Easter' gummies shown in the image are distributed across various markets and may be produced in any of these regional hubs depending on the specific supply chain.
