The Confectionery Company Hirsch was founded in 1969. From the beginning the company was run by the Chief Executive Officer Egon Hirsch. His foresight and good business acumen was vital for the success of the company. The company has grown from a small family business to a mid-sized enterprise. After the death of Egon Hirsch in the year 2000 his two sons Carsten and Olaf Hirsch took over the running of the company. Both had worked for many years as directors and continue to run the company following the traditions of their father.

A major factor in the growth of Hirsch Confectionery has been the company´s ability to anticipate new marktet trends and to rapidly incorporate market developments into new products.
