Bären Company International Taps Into Its Fruit Gummy Competence
Since 9 June 2026, the former companies Kalfany Süße Werbung GmbH & Co. KG and VOGEL’S GmbH will be run under the roof of Bären Company International GmbH. The new company brings together the fruit gummy competence, brand strength and innovation under one roof. For customers and business partners of Kalfany Süße Werbung, little will change. The Kalfany Süße Werbung brand, along with the usual contact partners, products, ordering methods and services, will remain the same. Through the new company structure, existing processes and resources are more closely linked to drive innovation, reduce delivery times, and improve services. “With the new structure, we are creating the basis for pooling our strengths even more effectively and providing our customers even more comprehensive support in the future,” explains Peter Kaspar, CEO of Bären Company International. “At the same time, the brands, products and services, which our customers have valued and used successfully for many years, will stay the same.” At the Herbolzheim facility, production, product development, printing workshop, packaging, logistics and shipping operate seamlessly together. This close integration enables short communication channels, a high level of flexibility and individual solutions for the requirements of the promotional product industry.

Several well-established brands and business segments will be run under the roof of Bären Company International:
• Kalfany Süße Werbung – Partner for the promotional product industry and specialist for customised sweet promotional products.
• Custom Candies – Private Label Specialists for custom fruit gummy development and production.
• Bären Company® & Choco Company – Online shop for unusual fruit gummy and chocolate specialities.
•VOGEL’S SÜSSE-WERBE-IDEEN – Specialist for sweet promotional messages with small print runs and fast delivery times, as well as its innovative online shop solution.
With Bären Company International, the company is boosting its position as one of the leading suppliers of sweet promotional products in Europe. The goal is to appeal to customers with innovative products, high flexibility and extraordinary culinary ideas. “Our strength lies in the combination of in-house production, creative product development and a deep understanding of our customers’ needs,” stresses Peter Kaspar. “This is how we create products that taste great and stay in people’s memories for a long time.”
The start of this new chapter was celebrated together with a BBQ at the Herbolzheim facility, where the Managing Directors Peter Kaspar and Jürgen Stephan welcomed the entire team. “With the merger of the previous different sites, a new chapter is beginning for Bären Company International, driven by growth, innovative spirit and a shared passion for sweet communication. We love snacking. And we believe in the sustainable impact of tasty communication,” adds Jürgen Stephan. www.suesse-werbung.de
