Transportation Company - Maoam - Food Products



Company History: In 1900, Edmund Münster from Germany take over the liquorice company “Düsseldorfer Lakritzenwerk”. Until the early 1930’s, the liquorice products took centre stage above the rest of the sweet manufacturing.

The Bonn confectionery producer HARIBO acquires the Edmund Münster company in 1986, which was temporarily moved to a modern factory in Neuss. The HARIBO Group receive the trademark and MAOAM receive lots of gummy bears as new brothers and sisters.
Successor/Parent History:
Haribo made the first gummi candy in 1922 when Hans Riegel, Sr. invented the first Gummibärchen (little gummy bears). After Hans Riegel, Sr. died during World War II, his son, also named Hans Riegel, took over the company. Over the years, Haribo has expanded its operations, taking over many local confectionery manufacturers in countries all over the world. It began international expansion in the 1960s and entered American markets in the 1980s. It currently operates 1,000 factories which produce over 100 million gummy bears per day.

Haribo was accused of using Jewish forced labor in its factories during World War II, but denies this. In 2014, Haribo's Skipper Mix was pulled in some markets because some of the candy pieces were shaped like caricatures of Asian, African, and Native American masks that some consumers considered to be racist.
