Ferrara Candy
Ferrara Candy is a renowned brand that has been delighting consumers with its sweet treats for over a century. The company traces its roots back to 1908 when Salvatore Ferrara, an immigrant from Italy, began making candy-coated almonds in his bakery in Chicago's Little Italy neighborhood. This small venture eventually grew into the Ferrara Candy Company, which today is recognized for its innovative and popular products.
Ferrara Candy Co. has a diverse portfolio of over 35 brands, including iconic candies like Lemonheads, Atomic Fireballs, Red Hots, and Original Boston Baked Beans. The company's product range includes nostalgic favorites like Nerds, Trolli gummies, Brach’s, SweeTARTS, and recently acquired Jelly Belly. Ferrara Candy's commitment to quality and innovation is evident in its continuous development of new products and its use of modern manufacturing techniques.
In 2017, Ferrero Rocher acquired Ferrara Candy Company, which led to the integration of Ferrara's products into Ferrero's global ecosystem. This acquisition has allowed Ferrara Candy to continue its legacy of providing consumers with delicious, high-quality confections while expanding its reach into new markets.
The company has a rich history of adapting to its customers' ever-changing tastes and preferences. From its early days of selling candy-coated almonds to developing its iconic brands, Ferrara Candy has consistently demonstrated its ability to innovate and grow. Today, it’s a leading brand in the confectionery industry, offering a wide range of products that cater to just about everyone, including you!
