Haribo is one of the best known and most popular candy brands in the world. But how did this company come about and what are its most loved products? In this blog post I take you on a journey through the sweet history of Haribo.
Haribo was founded in 1920 by Hans Riegel Sr. in Bonn, Germany. The name Haribo is an abbreviation of Hans Riegel Bonn. Hans Riegel was a confectioner who decided to start making sweets himself. He started producing hard licorice and mints in his backyard.
In 1922 he came up with his first great success: the dancing bear. This was a fruit gum in the shape of a bear, inspired by the bears that danced at carnivals. The dancing bear quickly became popular with children and adults alike. In 1967, the dancing bear was given a new look and became the gold bear we know today.
The gold bear is still Haribo's best-selling product, but the company has also developed many other treats, such as cherries, coke bottles, frogs, bananas, peaches and much more. Haribo also has different types of licorice in its range, such as salmiak licorice, liquorice licorice and honey licorice.
Haribo is not only successful in Germany, but also all over the world. The company has 16 factories in 10 countries and more than 7,000 employees . Haribo is available in more than 120 countries and has loyal fans everywhere who enjoy the colorful variety for young and old.
Haribo has been around for over 100 years now and continues to innovate with new flavours, shapes and packaging. Haribo's motto is “Haribo makes children happy… adults are part of that too!” And that is exactly what Haribo does: making people happy with delicious sweets!
