Our History
Our History
Our journey gathers dreams, memories, and joys. Remembering that it all began with the creation of a brand made exclusively for the child within us transforms us. After all, inside each of us lives the soul of a child, capable of bringing fantasy and creativity to life.
In every line, the extraordinary. In every chapter, an extra layer of joy. A fascination with bringing color to life. Our heritage is surprising, exciting, and welcoming. And at the heart of The Fini Company, we find the one who started the great dream: Fini.
It has been that way from the very beginning. We were born in 1971, the result of the great dream of Don Manuel Sánchez Cano — a Spaniard, son of farmers — who, at the age of 12, began the journey that would turn him into a natural-born entrepreneur. In his forties, alongside his children and beloved wife, he fulfilled a great dream: to create joy and delightful treats.
In challenging moments, Don Manuel always said: “Some challenges come for the better.” From failure, persistence, effort, and a great deal of learning came the results. To be an entrepreneur is to dream and to be resilient.
And let us remember — it all started in a handcrafted way! In the kitchen, Don Manuel and his wife prepared the recipes, while their children packed the candies and rode their bicycles through the streets of the small town of Murcia. From the family’s dream and love, our story was born!
Little by little came chewing gum, gummy candies, marshmallows, and licorice sticks. With the flavor of childhood, the very first products tasted of tutti-frutti. In the 1990s, the classic Dentaduras joined the family’s creations.
In the 1980s, all these treats conquered Europe. And in the 1990s, they arrived in Brazil. From ocean to ocean, we bring joy and create magical moments in more than 100 countries, with over 1,000 products and more than 90,000 tons of sweets produced around the globe. From a dream, we became a worldwide reference in gummies for the retail market.
