In 1904, the German immigrant Emil J. Brach set up shop with his two sons in Chicago, the "World's Candy Capital." From these humble origins selling handmade caramels out of their "Palace of Sweets," Brach's has grown into a name recognized around the world as one of the premier manufacturers and innovators of premium confections. Celebrate the momentous. Celebrate the obvious. Celebrate the frivolous. No matter what happens in life, there's always a reason to break out the Brach's. So much has changed since the first Ferrara candy rolled off the line and into stores in 1908. But the same creativity and innovation that fed those early years remains at the heart of our company. In fact, it's what has made us the number one non-chocolate candy manufacturer in the U.S. We've got a sweet history - but an even richer opportunity for future growth and success is right at our doorstep. Our mission is to take the brands that have been loved for generations to the next level. In 2012, we brought together brands like Trolli, Brach's, Black Forest, Now & Later and Lemonhead. We're continuously innovating to bring the best-tasting, highest-quality confections to the marketplace.
