Albanese Candy
Albanese Candy is a confectionery manufacturer with a rich history dating back to 1983, when Scott Albanese founded it in Hobart, Indiana. The company has since grown to employ approximately 700 workers and ship its products to 41 countries. Albanese is celebrated for its wide variety of gummies and chocolate-covered goods, with a particular emphasis on its gummy candy selection.
The company's dedication to innovation is evident in its development of unique products, such as the Ultimate 8 Flavor Gummi Bears, which won the Consumer Choice Award for Food and Beverage in 2020. Albanese Candy has also been recognized for its achievements, including the Professional Candy Buyer's Product of the Year award in 2006 for its innovative process of incorporating omega-3 fish oil into gummies.
In 2024, Albanese Candy celebrated its 42nd year in business, a testament to its enduring popularity among candy lovers. The company's commitment to providing high-quality products has allowed it to maintain a strong presence in the competitive confectionery market.
Albanese's success can also be attributed to its unique manufacturing processes, such as coating candy trays with corn starch, which only three candy-makers in the United States utilize.
This approach ensures that Albanese Candy products have a distinctive and delicious taste that differentiates them from other confectionery offerings.
