Hennericy has spent the last 20 years in Luxembourg, working for most of that time at Ferrero in various domestic and travel retail roles. He joined Haribo in January this year as Head of Logistics for Travel Retail and Export Markets.

Hennericy will be supported by the sales team, which remains unchanged with Manuel Coronilla leading as Sales Director, and the marketing team, with Elisa Fontana leading as Marketing Manager Travel Retail.

Gilles Hennericy commented: “I am excited to take on this challenging new role at Haribo. I look forward to putting the experience I have gained of the travel retail market over recent years to good effect as we continue the excellent progress which the company has made in this dynamic channel under Juan’s leadership.

“Juan will be very sadly missed by the whole team at Haribo and we wish him well in his future exploits.”
