Katjes International: brands it owns and its ownership tree
Katjes International is a privately held company headquartered in Emmerich am Rhein, Germany that owns 10 consumer brands across 2 categories.[1]
Katjes International is a family-run brand holding company based in Emmerich am Rhein that buys established confectionery and personal-care brands, often as carve-outs from larger groups. It was set up in 1972 to hold the Katjes group's property and now holds stakes in Sperlari, Dallmann's, Piasten, Bübchen, Candy Kittens and Harlekijntjes. It is a sister company of Katjes Fassin, the maker of the Katjes liquorice and fruit gums, and of Katjesgreenfood; the three are legally separate, so the Katjes brand itself does not belong to this company. It also holds about 23 per cent of the French confectioner CPK (Carambar), which is a minority holding and not listed here.
