About the Candy Alliance

The Candy Alliance LLC was formed in the year 2000. "To establish lawful arrangements to enhance competition in the candy industry, especially with large candy manufacturers, by, among other ways, increasing placement and distribution of Members’ products and lowering their costs, thereby enabling them to lower prices, raise output and give consumers wider choices." All the members are of similar size, have common goals and have found synergies that will enable members to ‘build a better business’ and compete in the crowded market place of confections and snacks. Each member is a stand alone entity that operates independently of other members.
