Haribo Gummibärchen (Goldbears)

Haribo Gummibärchen, famously known as Goldbears, are the original gummy bear candies that have become a global confectionery icon. Invented in 1922 by Hans Riegel Sr. in Bonn, Germany, these fruit-flavored treats revolutionized the snack industry. The name 'Haribo' is an acronym derived from the founder's name and the city: HAns RIegel BOnn.

Today, Haribo remains a family-owned enterprise, maintaining its independence while expanding its footprint across the globe. The company operates numerous production facilities throughout Europe and North America to meet international demand. While the brand is deeply rooted in German tradition, manufacturing occurs in various locations including Germany, France, the United Kingdom, and the United States, ensuring that these beloved sweets reach consumers in over 100 countries.
