of America, Inc. Company Profile
Our History It all began in a small backyard in Bonn, Germany. No one thought at that time HARIBO would be one of the most popular and appealing brands in the confectionery business. On December 13, 1920 the company’s founder, Hans Riegel, registered the name HARIBO, an abbreviation of HAns RIegel BOnn, in the Bonn Commercial Registry. In 1921, he married Gertrud, who become the first employee of the company. Inspired by the dancing bears and the teddy bear, in 1922 Hans Riegel created his first bear-shaped sweet, which was the forefather of the Gold-Bear that later become an international fame.
Haribo Worlwide This sustainable success story was not limited to the German market. HARIBO has long since established itself in the markets beyond Germany. Haribo is the 7th largest candy company in the world with sales in excess of $2.0 billion and more than 6,000 employees. Today Haribo still privately owned by the Riegel family. The secret of this success story lies primarily in the high HARIBO product quality which has remained such over the decades and which has received multiple awards. The consistent expansion of the product range by the purchasing of appropriate quality brands has also contributed to the leading marketing position of the brand.
