History of ğDragees aus WesekeĞ
Dragees aus Weseke was founded in 1964. 1979, the business was sold to the English Company Associated Biscuits. Already during this period the business developed its reputation as the leading supplier of high quality chocolate coated products in the German and European Dragee market.

In April 1987, the English group Hazlewood Foods acquired the business but did not have a clear strategy for the development of the location Germany. Hazlewood took the decision to rationalise its product groups in 1990 and sold the Confectionery sector in July of the same year to a management by out Consortium known now as Portfolio Foods.
End of June 1996, Portfolio Foods decided to sell the German business by a management buy out to the German Managing Directors of Dragees aus Weseke.
