The company was formed from a 2012 merger of the Illinois-based Ferrara Pan Candy Company and Minnesota-based Farley's & Sathers Candy Company. Ferrara's product line includes the brands of Ferrara-branded pan candy (such as Lemonheads, Atomic Fireballs, Red Hots, and Original Boston Baked Beans) and those of Farley's & Sathers (such as Brach's, Chuckles, Jujyfruits, and Now and Later). In November 2017, The Ferrero Group announced that they were going to acquire the company,[1] which was finalized in December 2017.[2] Ferrara announced it was moving its world headquarters to Chicago, Illinois in 2019.[3] HistoryThe Ferrara family had been bakers in Italy. Salvatore Ferrara emigrated from Nola to New York in 1900.[4] In 1908, he opened a bakery at 772 W. Taylor, in the heart of Chicago's "Little Italy" neighborhood.[5] He sold candy-coated almonds known as "confetti" (or Jordan almonds), a popular treat at Italian weddings.[4] When candy sales became greater than pastries, Ferrara partnered with two brothers-in-law, Salvatore Buffardi and Anello Pagano.[6] They built a two-story brick building at 2200 W. Taylor and began producing a variety of panned candies.[4] The second floor of the building was devoted to the revolving kettles that produced the pan candy, with all of the machines being driven by a giant wheel. The candy was dropped to the shipping department below through a hole in the floor. The private equity firm Catterton Partners, owner of Farley's & Sathers Candy Company, arranged the 2012 deal whereby that well-established confectioner would merge with the Ferrara Pan Candy Company. Although Ferrara Pan Candy was only about half the size of Farley's & Sathers, the new company was christened as the Ferrara Candy Company, and was placed under the leadership of Ferrara Pan Chief Executive Salvatore Ferrara II.[7] Ferrara Candy is headquartered in Oakbrook Terrace, Illinois. It operates 5 manufacturing plants in the U.S. and Mexico, as well as distribution centers around the United States. The company sells 92% of all mallowcremes in the U.S.; it is the largest producer of candy canes; the largest seller of conversation hearts; produces a large portion of the jelly beans that are consumed in the United States. The company has 21 starch moguls, of 40 in the U.S. as a whole. The company has between 700 and 800 pans operating at any given time. The company claims that it produces a million pounds of gummy candy per week in four manufacturing plants, two in the US and two in Mexico. The company employs approximately 1,000 people. Timeline
