Haribo, the German gummy sweet specialist, has announced plans to invest £35 million ($48 million) at its manufacturing facility in West Yorkshire, according to a Grocery Gazette report.
The upgrade reportedly includes a new purpose-built warehouse, as well as the installation of an additional production and packaging line.
The announcement comes after Haribo reported a record market share of 22.6% in 2024, as well as a 7.7% rise in turnover.
“Through ongoing investment in our production sites and continued innovation across our treats, stores, people, and community initiatives, we continue to bring more moments of childlike happiness and to be part of Yorkshire’s proud next chapter of food manufacturing excellence”, said Haribo UK & Ireland managing director Jon Hughes.
“We’re proud of Haribo UK’s performance in 2024, and to once again be the most popular choice for consumers within our category”, he added.
The company is also expanding its UK retail presence, including plans for its first store opening in Scotland.
