About Trolli
Trolli is a German gummy-candy brand founded in 1948 in Fürth and produced by Mederer GmbH, which still owns the European Trolli operation. Trolli is widely credited as the original sour gummi-worm maker and remains one of the most internationally recognized sour and novelty gummy brands.
Mederer GmbH started producing gummy candy in Fürth, Germany in 1948, with the Trolli brand becoming its flagship line. Trolli's defining innovation was the sour-coated gummy worm, a category-creating product that has since been copied by every major gummy brand worldwide.
The brand expanded heavily into novelty 3D gummy shapes, gummi burgers, pizzas, planet shapes, octopuses, and themed seasonal pieces, that distinguish Trolli from gelatin-only competitors. Trolli's Sour Brite Crawlers, Gummi Pop, and Glühwürmchen (glow worms) are reference products in the sour-gummy category.
Trolli has separate regional licensing: Mederer operates the European Trolli business from Fürth, while Ferrara Candy Co (US) handles the North American Trolli license, the SKUs and packaging can differ between regions. Our wholesale stock is European-produced Trolli from Mederer.
