About Hero Group
More than 135 years of conserving the goodness of nature
Hero was created through various mergers and acquisitions over the years. Our history spans more than a century with roots in different parts of the world. We are a diverse gathering of people and ideas that have come together to conserve the goodness of nature.
Following the birth of Hero in 1886, Beech-Nut and Schwartau followed soon after. During this early period, the Hero logo was created. Acquisitions saw the birth of Hero Benelux and Hero Spain, while Schwartau and Beech-Nut began expansion programs. The former also launched its iconic logo.
