Haribo cancels plans for new €300 million factory in Neuss
Haribo has abandoned plans to build a new €300 million production facility in Neuss, Germany, intended for its Maoam candy line. The company cited fundamental changes in global economic conditions, including material shortages and significant price increases in international markets, as the primary reasons for the decision.
The original plan aimed to start production by 2028 and create up to 100 new jobs. Instead of the new construction, Haribo will focus on modernizing and developing its existing production sites, including the current Maoam plant in Neuss. While the expansion is canceled, the company stated that approximately 350 existing jobs at the Neuss location are secure.
