Haribo starts making gummi bears in Pleasant Prairie, but no tours (yet)

In the 1800s, German immigrants arrived in Wisconsin in droves and the influence of German culture can be seen in town names, summer festivals and the state's love of beer.

Now, Germans have brought a new influence to Wisconsin — Haribo Gummi Bears .

Sure, Haribo gummies have been available in the U.S. since the 1980s. But last week, for the first time, the company opened a production factory in North America. 

Located in Pleasant Prairie , the 500,000-square-foot factory is part of a multiphase project that will also include an administrative building.

When did the Haribo factory open in Pleasant Prairie?

Production began in late July at the building along Interstate 94 that features a massive Haribo logo emblazoned on the side of the building. The company said the factory was opened to meet the growing demand by American consumers. 

“I started my career with Haribo more than 20 years ago, and I’m so proud to be part of the team that made the dream of a U.S. factory come true,” said Hakan Zor, chief production officer, Haribo of America.

What will be produced at the Haribo factory in Pleasant Prairie?

Haribo said the factory will be almost solely dedicated to producing Goldbears — the brand's most popular snack.

With 200 employees working at the factory, the company predicts that hundreds of tons of Goldbears will be produced at the new location this year.

Does the new Haribo factory mean new flavors will be coming to the U.S.?

While the factory will mainly be used to produce Goldbears, Haribo announced that it'll also be introducing new Wild Berry Goldbears into the American market. 

While the new product will be produced in Germany, the presence of the new factory could mean new flavors will be more common, since Haribo said it wants to grow and diversify production at the facility.

Can you take tours of the Haribo factory in Pleasant Prairie?

Unfortunately, Haribo said tours of the factory won't be available “in order to abide by food safety regulations and protect all stakeholders.”

However, the company didn't dismiss the possibility of running tours at the facility in the future.

Why did Haribo choose Pleasant Prairie?

The company said it chose Pleasant Prairie as its U.S. manufacturing location because of its “shared values of quality, trust and independence, coupled with the work ethic of the region and warm welcome from the community.”

Haribo also said it intends to work with the Boys & Girls Club of Kenosha, the University of Wisconsin-Parkside, Carthage College and Gateway Technical College to provide scholarship and internship opportunities.

German candy maker Haribo is developing its first North American manufacturing plant. The facility in Pleasant Prairie, Wisconsin, will produce Goldbears gummy bears and other Haribo products.

The plant will be built in a phased manner with an estimated investment of $300m. Plans for the site were announced in March 2017 and its ground-breaking ceremony was held in December 2020, coinciding with Haribo’s 100th anniversary. The grading and site works were carried out a few weeks before the start of construction.

The project will create 385 direct jobs in the first phase of construction and up to 4,200 indirect jobs once fully operational. Production at the facility is expected to begin by 2023.

Haribo manufacturing plant location and development details

Haribo’s manufacturing facility is being built on a 136.8-acre site at the corner of 120 th Avenue at West Frontage Road and CTH C at Wilmot Road in the Prairie Highlands Corporate Park in Pleasant Prairie, Kenosha County.

The preliminary site and operational plans for the project were considered and approved by the Pleasant Prairie Plan Commission in May 2019. The property acquisition for the project was finalised last February. The final site and operational plans for phase one were conditionally approved by the Plan Commission in May.

Details about the facility

The project involves the construction of a state-of-the-art production facility, a warehouse, an administrative building, a day care centre, a fitness building, a museum, a retail store, and a gatehouse for truck traffic and utility buildings.

Phase one of construction will include a 487,400ft², three-storey production building with a two-storey administrative building extension. A single-storey 87,866ft² warehouse building, which will be connected to the production facility through a 475ft passageway, will also be built.

The facility will adopt the latest technology for the optimisation of overall quality and productivity. It will initially produce Goldbears gummy bears and will later manufacture more customer favourites.

The plant will allow Haribo to expand its global manufacturing network while offering faster and more efficient delivery of fan favourite products.

Contractors involved

Gilbane Building Company is the general contractor for Haribo’s Pleasant Prairie facility and will handle all construction and worksite management.

Haribo’s product portfolio

Haribo’s product offerings include Goldbears, Twin Snakes Sour Goldbears, Starmix, Happy Cola, Smurfs, Happy Cherries, Pico-Balla, Roulette, Peaches, Tropifrutti and Worms. The Z!NG sour gummy product line, launched in 2018, covers Z!NG Sour S’ghetti, Z!NG Sour Cubes and Z!NG Sour Streamers.

Marketing commentary on Haribo

Headquartered in Grafshaft, Germany, Haribo was established in 1920 by Hans Riegel. It is one of the leading confectionery brands in the US.

Haribo produces gummy products at its 16 production sites located across ten countries. With a workforce of approximately 7,000, the company produces 100 million Goldbears a day.

Haribo’s factories across the globe comply with the FSSC 22000 Food Safety System Certification standards.

Reasons to Visit the HARIBO Factory Store in Bonn, Germany

Germany, the land of enchanting castles, beer, festivals, Christmas markets, and much more.  But, did you know they’re known for something sweet and delicious?  Candy lovers, this post is for you, specifically gummy bear lovers out there! 

Now, I normally don’t get too excited about candies, but I specifically put the HARIBO factory store on my list for a reason (we’ll get to that in a bit).  I thought this deserved its own post.  It was the perfect ending to our day trip to Bonn (psst, click here to read up on our day trip to Bonn).

This post contains affiliate links. If you purchase the items linked in this post, I earn from qualifying purchases at no extra cost to you. For more information, please read my disclaimer . Thank you for your support!

              about haribo.

Before we get to the reasons why you should visit the HARIBO Factory store, here are some interesting tidbits about the famous German company:

• Hans Riegel founded HARIBO in Bonn, Germany, in 1920
• The name HARIBO was derived from the founder’s first two letters of his first and last name and the first two letters of Bonn.   HA ns  RI egel,  BO nn.  Nifty, huh?
• The company is still family-owned
• Locations can be found here on their  website .  They have several locations in Germany.
• I was really hoping for a tour, but sadly, they do not offer factory tours, even before Covid.  See their response on their website  here. (tip: view the site on Chrome and let the site translate the website for you).
• I mean, you have to visit the birthplace of HARIBO, at least while in Bonn.

      Reasons to Visit the HARIBO Factory                                  Store

• The Factory store (though not the original store) is located close to the original Factory in Bonn.
• You’re in the city where the HARIBO gummy bears were invented
• The prices for the gummies are CHEAP ( I like that word), or rather, low in price!  I mean prices for a 200g bag of gummies were around 0,59 cent Euros to 0,85 cent Euros, depending on the flavor.  I’ve easily seen these size bags at Aldi for around 1 Euro or more.
• It’s in Bonn, the birthplace of the one and only Beethoven! 
• The VARIETY!!!  There are so many flavors I have never seen before, some from other countries!  I even saw a flavor from the U.K. (see below for the Wine Gummy, yes, wine gummy; I don’t know if it’s really wine inside the gummy, but I’ll find out soon!)
• The store also sells other candies besides gummies, like jelly beans, sweet and sour string candies, and more!
• The souvenirs are pretty nifty too!
• There are clean restrooms inside the store (it’s free)
• It’s a fun stop in Bonn for all you candy lovers out there
• Want to know how the gummies are made? Check out their production page here .

 final thoughts.

There you have it, some fun reasons to add the HARIBO Factory store to your Bonn list.  Is it worth the visit?  Only if you have a sweet tooth and you have a desire to visit a gummy bear store.  Plus, it’s a good excuse if you want to bring your kids along to a candy store full of sweets while in Bonn; I mean why not?   It wouldn’t hurt to visit one of the stores . The factory store itself is close to the original factory, and their prices are pretty sweet!  It’s not a bucket list location, but it’s a pretty neat stop if you are tired of sightseeing for the day and need a sweet break.  

I had a very excited husband who was literally my kid in a candy store.  I think he was more excited about the low price and variety! 

My kids are a bit older and were just there for the experience, lol.  I still had fun visiting the store; it’s not often you get to visit one of the OG HARIBO stores, especially in the city it originated from.

thank you for your post. it is a worth for me.

Glad I could be of help, I hope you enjoy visiting!

Hello! Thanks for the post. Is it possible to visit the Factory?

Hi! I think you can only visit the Factory Outlet store, but not the actual factory where they do the production of the products. Here is what I found on their website: https://www.haribo.com/de-de/shops-fabrikverkaeufe (link) Can I visit the production of HARIBO? Extremely high and internationally standardized hygiene and quality standards apply to the manufacture of HARIBO products. Therefore, all HARIBO production plants worldwide are certified according to FSSC 22000 (Food Safety System Certification 22000), which enjoys a high level of acceptance in international trade and stands for the highest level of quality and safety standards along the entire production and supply chain. Unfortunately, this also means that in order to protect the entire production and filling processes, no groups of visitors are allowed to be guided through the factory halls. We therefore ask all HARIBO fans for their understanding that we generally do not offer any factory tours.

I hope this helps!

Thanks for the post. I’m attending a meeting in Bonn and will definitely find time to visit another “birthplace” next to Beethoven’s. It also helped in deciding on what to bring home to my folks as souvenirs that are originals from Bonn.

I’m so glad this was helpful! Thank you for reading my blog posts! I hope you enjoy visiting Bonn! It really is a beautiful city!

HARIBO opens first U.S. factory in Wisconsin

PLEASANT PRAIRIE, Wis. — HARIBO opened its doors of a new manufacturing facility in Pleasant Prairie, Wis. The brand-new factory is the company’s first North American manufacturing facility.

HARIBO said the factory has already begun producing Goldbear gummies. The company said the 500,000-square-foot facility will expand production in the future, but for now, the 200 associates working there are devoted to the iconic treat.

HARIBO said it opened the factory to meet the demand of American consumers. HARIBO producers more than 1,200 types of gummi treats around the world; 25 of those are available in the U.S.

The Wisconsin-based facility is HARIBO’s 16th factory; facilities span across 11 countries. The global headquarters is located in Germany and the U.S. headquarters operates out of Rosemont, Ill.

The company makes more than 160 million Goldbears daily, with hundreds of tons of them now coming from Wisconsin.

We’re committed to creating learning and career opportunities that will drive economic development and wellness for Southeast Wisconsin.”

The facility is a multi-phase project. Right now, in the first phase, the facility includes a production facility, warehouse and administrative building. The company said new developments are in the works and are set to include expanded capacity, new technology and hundreds of additional workers.

HARIBO said in order to keep its employees, customers and partners safe, it will not offer factory tours.

Haribo has officially begun gummi production at its first-ever North American manufacturing facility, located in Pleasant Prairie, WI. The brand-new, state-of-the-art factory was created to meet the growing demand by American consumers of the beloved gummi brand, which produces over 25 varieties of gummi treats for the U.S. and more than 1,200 types globally.

Currently, the 500,000-square-foot factory is focused on producing Haribo's iconic Goldbears, with plans to expand production in the future. The facility currently employs nearly 200 associates and produces hundreds of tons of Goldbears.

The Pleasant Prairie facility marks Haribo's 16th factory and supports the global company's production of over 160 million Goldbears every day. The facility is a multi-phase project and this first phase includes the production facility, an administrative building and a warehouse. Future phases are in development and will include new technology, capacity, and hundreds of new associates to bring Haribo's mission of childlike happiness to life. Haribo's top priority is the safety of its associates, consumers, and partners, so in order to abide by food safety regulations and protect all stakeholders, the brand does not offer factory tours at this time.

"I started my career with HARIBO more than 20 years ago, and I'm so proud to be part of the team that made the dream of a U.S. factory come true," said Hakan Zor, chief production officer, Haribo's of America. "Our Associates worked tirelessly to ensure every step was taken with care, with the best quality equipment, technology, and ingredients on the market. The HARIBO brand has limitless potential and producing in the U.S. is an exciting next chapter of our story."

Haribo's chose Pleasant Prairie, WI, located in Kenosha County, as its U.S. manufacturing location because of its shared values of quality, trust, and independence, coupled with the work ethic of the region and warm welcome from the community. The factory has already brought hundreds of career opportunities to the community, with hundreds more slated as the facility continues to expand over the next several years to diversify production. Aligned with the brand's commitments to community giving, Haribo works closely with the Boys & Girls Club of Kenosha, as well as with the University of Wisconsin-Parkside, Carthage College, and Gateway Technical College, to provide scholarship and internship opportunities.

"At Haribo we think in generations. We are in the U.S. for the long-term and are honored to be part of the Pleasant Prairie community," said Wes Saber, chief financial officer, Haribo of America.

We believe everyone deserves access to quality, affordable education so our partnerships reflect that. We're committed to creating learning and career opportunities that will drive economic development and wellness for Southeast Wisconsin." 

At the same time, the brand continues to bring excitement with innovation. As the classic Goldbears roll off the line in Pleasant Prairie, Haribo's newest treat, produced in Germany, will join them in stores nationwide just in time for summer: Wild Berry Goldbears.

Wild Berry Goldbears are inspired by consumers' love of fruity flavors. They're the same Goldbears shapes that fans know and love, but with bursts of berry flavors: Blueberry, Wild Cherry, Strawberry, Raspberry, and Wildberry.

"HARIBO fans tell us they love our texture and flavor combinations, and Wild Berry Goldbears are a nod to that for a perfect summer treat," said Rick LaBerge, chief commercial officer, Haribo of America. "Haribo has been the world's #1 gummi brand for over a century because we stay true to our heritage while also driving to innovate, and that's all inspired by our consumers. Right now as we're starting production in the U.S. we're focused on classic Goldbears, and we're excited to produce more of our gummi varieties including innovative new treats like Wild Berry Goldbears in the future."

Haribo’s Pleasant Prairie manufacturing facility now open, producing gummi bears

Haribo’s Pleasant Prairie manufacturing facility is officially open and focused on producing the company’s well-known Goldbears gummi treats.

The company announced Thursday that production has begun at the new, 500,000-square-foot factory. There are currently 200 employees working at the facility and the company is planning to expand production in the future.

Haribo originally announced plans for a plant in Pleasant Prairie in March 2017. The company did not break ground for the plant until late 2020. 

This is Haribo’s first North American manufacturing facility. It is located southwest of 120th Avenue (West Frontage Road) and Highway C (Wilmot Road) in the Prairie Highlands Corporate Park. The facility is on 136.8 acres of property.

“I started my career with HARIBO more than 20 years ago, and I’m so proud to be part of the team that made the dream of a U.S. factory come true,” said Hakan Zor , chief production officer, Haribo of America. “Our associates worked tirelessly to ensure every step was taken with care, with the best quality equipment, technology and ingredients on the market. The Haribo brand has limitless potential and producing in the U.S. is an exciting next chapter of our story.”

The Pleasant Prairie facility is a multi-phase project. The first phase includes the production facility, an administrative building and a warehouse. Future phases are in development and will include new technology, capacity and hundreds of new employees.

Those future phases could bring employment at the complex to more than 1,200. Haribo has not specified by what date the full buildout of the campus will be completed. The company plans to produce 132 million pounds of gummi candies each year now that phase one of the facility is complete.

“At Haribo we think in generations. We are in the U.S. for the long-term and are honored to be part of the Pleasant Prairie community,” said Wes Saber , chief financial officer, Haribo of America. “One of our core values is trust, and it was important for us to give back to the people of Pleasant Prairie who have welcomed us so warmly. We believe everyone deserves access to quality, affordable education so our partnerships reflect that. We’re committed to creating learning and career opportunities that will drive economic development and wellness for southeast Wisconsin.”

If you have ever watched "Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory," you have probably dreamed of setting foot inside a candy factory one day. Well, there are many working candy factories today in the U.S. that offer free or low-cost tours. They might not include Willy Wonka’s chocolate rivers or edible vegetation, but these factory tours can be a lot of fun.

Candy factory tours offer an exciting look at how beloved sweets are made behind the scenes, and in addition to seeing the assembly methods, visitors often learn about candy making and the history of the specific candy and candy company.

Touring a candy factory can be a great family activity since it appeals to all ages and is affordable—almost all of the tours listed below are free. (If you are a large group, it is always a good idea to call ahead to schedule a tour that can accommodate you). Best of all, candy tours often end with free samples of the merchandise, fresh off the assembly line.

Note that most of these candy factories use nuts in the process, so a tour would require special precautions for anyone with a nut allergy. Browse this listing of candy factory tours, see if there is one near you, and enjoy.

The main  Jelly Belly factory is located (appropriately enough) at One Jelly Belly Lane in Fairfield, California. The company was founded by Gustav Goelitz in 1869. As you may have guessed, jelly beans , in more than 50 flavors (including pomegranate and chili-mango) rank as its primary product. The self-guided tour is free, and it takes about 45 minutes to cover the quarter-mile area that includes interactive exhibits, films depicting the intricacies of candy making, and examples of Jelly Belly art. You can skip the line with a personal guided tour for one to six people included for a single fee, but you must make a reservation.

In Pleasant Prairie, Wisconsin, you can visit the Jelly Belly warehouse and distribution center. Learn how these jelly beans are made on a free, 30-minute train ride through the facility complete with whimsical decorations and jelly bean characters fun for children and all kids at heart.

Theo Chocolate is considered one of the first organic, fair-trade certified chocolate makers in North America. Around since 2006, the factory is located in a former brewery building and trolley car depot in the Fremont neighborhood of North Seattle, Washington. About 60,000 visitors tour the factory per year. Tours have an admission fee except for free tours on Fremont Third Thursday. The guided tour is about one hour long, includes chocolate samples, but children under age 5 are not permitted on the tour. For those under age 5, a weekly children's storytime tour is offered. You can also book a private tour for groups of up to 24 people, which can include young children and babies.

Boehm's Candies

Boehm's Candies has been around since 1942 when Austrian Olympian runner Julius Boehms opened his first candy shop in the Ravenna area of Seattle, Washington. He later designed, built, and relocated his shop to an authentic Swiss-style Alpine chalet in the Issaquah foothills, which reminded him of home. Tours of the Issaquah production facility and shop are available during the summer months only for a small fee per person (under age 1, free). On a 40-minute tour, you can see how their famous truffles , caramels, and nut candies are made. Outside of the summer months, if you have a group of 10 or more, you can inquire about scheduling a tour.

Carl T. Hammond, Sr., founded Hammond's Candy Company in Denver, Colorado, in 1920. You can visit the factory and watch as treats like lollipops, candy canes, and other popular Hammond's treats are pulled, twisted, shaped, and packaged by hand. The 30-minute tour is free. No reservations are required, but you can call ahead. The tour is offered every 30 minutes on the hour and on the half. Children are welcome. Wheelchairs and strollers can access the facility.

The Sweet Candy Company first opened its doors in 1892 in Portland, Oregon. In the 1900s, the company moved to Salt Lake City, Utah, where it has been ever since. Sweet Candy Company remains family-owned and operated by the third, fourth, and fifth generations of the family. Their specialty is taffy , gummies, chocolate sticks, and the company produces 250 other candies. The tour is free, by appointment only, Monday through Friday. The guided tour includes fresh factory samples and educational and interactive stations.

The Cerreta Candy Company is a family-owned business founded in 1968 by Jim Cerreta, Sr., in Glendale, Arizona. He had learned the art of candy production in his father-in-law’s factory in Canton, Ohio. He then passed the skill on to his children and grandchildren. Four generations later, the business is going strong. Their signature candy is French mint chocolates followed closely by chocolate caramels and creams. The free, 30-minute guided tour is offered Monday through Friday at 10 a.m. and at 1 p.m. A VIP tour package is available for a small fee.

Visit The Candy Factory in Columbia, Missouri, and observe some of the traditional candy-making processes in use since they opened their doors in 1974. The Candy Factory creates chocolate assortments of truffles and, for free, you can take a sneak peek at the process through their viewing room.

When you think Kentucky, there are likely two things that come to mind: the Kentucky Derby and bourbon whiskey. It stands without question that Rebecca Ruth Chocolates in Frankfort, Kentucky, has tipped a nod to both in its lines of chocolate samplers and liquor-filled chocolates. From its famous bourbon balls to its Triple Crown Assortment, the selections are something you can only find in Kentucky. A 20-minute tour is available for a small fee. Children under 5 are free.

Walk the glass-enclosed, suspended "catwalk" and observe nine assembly lines producing 30,000 pounds of chocolates at the Anthony-Thomas factory in Columbus, Ohio. A tour guide explains each process step-by-step from the kitchens to the final packaging on a one-hour tour. View huge copper kettles where the gooey centers of some of the candies are created and take a look at the network of silver-wrapped pipes that carry liquid chocolate throughout the factory. The tour is available for a very small fee and is free for children under age 3. The admission fee can be applied to a candy purchase. No reservations are required.

Since 1875, Sanders fine chocolates have been woven into the fabric of Michigan culture. With chains throughout the Great Lakes region, it was the regional chocolate. With its own rich history since 1919, Morley Candy Makers bought Sanders in 2002. The Sanders and Morely Candy Makers chocolate factory tour in Clinton Township, Michigan, is great for all ages and it is free. Guided tours are available by appointment only. But you can stop by any day for a free self-guided kitchen tour.

Somebody at the helm was paying attention to marketing when developing the product lines at Webb's Candy in Davenport, Florida—each product is unique. From goat's milk fudge bars to citrus jelly candies made with real citrus juices, Webb's is the real deal. To learn more about them, take a free, self-guided tour

Jelly Belly Factory Tour Expands with a New Museum

Grand opening will take place july 1.

FAIRFIELD, CALIF., June 20, 2022 – The Jelly Belly Factory Tour just got a little sweeter with the addition of the Jelly Belly Museum.

The Jelly Belly Museum’s grand opening celebration will take place Friday, July 1 at the Jelly Belly Visitor Center in Fairfield, California. To celebrate the grand opening on July 1, the factory tour and museum experience will be free to all guests from 9 a.m. to 10 a.m. The first 300 guests will also receive a free 2 pound bag of Jelly Belly Belly Flops® jelly beans.

The museum experience begins with a short ride in a Jelly Belly Express passenger train (weather permitting) from the Jelly Belly Visitor Center to the museum entrance. With decorative jelly beans hanging from the ceiling, this museum presents the evolution of candy-making equipment and the growth of the family-owned Jelly Belly Candy Company through a whimsical and interactive experience. Guests will get to view over a century’s worth of candy-making equipment that is brought to life through videos accessed via QR code and narrated by Herm Rowland, Chairman of the Board at Jelly Belly Candy Company.

“The Jelly Belly Factory Tour allows guests to see how candy is made today, but we felt it was important to show the history that led to our current factory processes through a museum, too,” said John Jamison, VP of Retail Operations at Jelly Belly Candy Company. “The Jelly Belly Museum is a truly unique experience and we were so grateful to have the opportunity to share Herm’s unrivaled knowledge of candy-making with everyone.”

Several vehicles and installations from Mr. Rowland’s private collection are on display in the museum and represent key moments in the company’s history. Guests will see a 1934 Ford V8 Touring Sedan, a 1935 Chris-Craft boat and a 1982 Maserati Quattroporte.

The Jelly Belly Museum concludes with an area of photo opportunities. Guests will be able to take a photo in front of dancing jelly beans, in a candy-themed spinning drum, and on the Jelly Belly Bean Machine, a motorcycle with a sidecar in the shape of a jelly bean. When guests are done walking the museum, they will have the opportunity to ride aboard the Jelly Belly passenger train back to the Visitor Center.  

The Jelly Belly Museum and Factory Tour are open daily to the public from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tickets are priced at $7 per adult and $3 per child for the factory tour and museum and parking is free during business hours.

Famous for offering public tours, the Jelly Belly Factory Tour has received many awards for excellence over the years. Located halfway between San Francisco and Sacramento, Jelly Belly has welcomed more than eight million visitors since opening its factory doors to the public for tours in the mid-1980s. The Jelly Belly Visitor Center is also home to a large Jelly Belly retail store, Chocolate and Fudge Shoppe, Jelly Belly Café, and the Chocolate & Wine Experience.

With candy-making roots dating back to 1869, Jelly Belly Candy Company began making Jelly Belly® jelly beans in 1976. Today, Jelly Belly products are sold all over the world and the company remains family-owned and operated by the fourth, fifth and sixth generations of the candy-making family.
