Just over a century ago, в 1920, Німецький роботодавець Hans Riegel Sr. struck out on his own, establishing a new candy company called Haribo—an abbreviation derivated from the name and hometown of Bonn (Hans Riegel Bonn).
company founder died в 1945. Upon being released as allied prisoners після World War II, Riegel і його younger brother, Paul, set o rebuilding family firm. Haribo мав тільки про 30 працівників одразу після війни, але як West Germany's economy took off, number was up to 1,000 five years later.
What про vegetarians? Although most Haribo use pork or beef gelatine, Як багато з них використовує starch instead – але їх класичний Starmix, Tangfastics або Cola Bottles є strictly for meat eaters.
