Nowadays, Haribo is one of the biggest manufacturers of gummy and jelly sweets, and is credited for the invention of more than 200 sweets, including Gummy Bears, Vademecum sugar-free gum and Maoam fruit chewies among other jelly sweets and liquorice. Hans Riegel and his brother Paul restored the company after World War II and managed it together until Paul’s death in 2009. Each of the brothers had a 50% stake in the business. But since Hans died single with no children, the entire company now is owned by Paul and his heirs. Paul’s son Hans Guido Riegel runs the production and technical questions, while his two other sons of Paul, Hans Juergen Riegel and Hans Arndt Riegel, sit on the supervisory board.
