Haribo Opening Gummy Bear Plant in Southeast Wisconsin

Southeast Wisconsin is about to be a U-S gummy bear hub.  German confectionery company HARIBO plans to open a facility in Pleasant Prairie.  The new plant will sit on almost 140 acres and managers say it will create hundreds of new jobs.  It will be HARIBO’s first-ever North American plant.  The world’s largest gummy bear maker hopes to break ground later this year.
