PROFILE |
 |
Dampened Japanese enthusiasm for sweets left Ezaki Glico Co. in a sticky situation. Ezaki Glico produces ice cream, cookies, curries, stews, and candy. Confections such as its flagship products, Pocky and Pretz (chocolate-covered biscuits and pretzels), account for more than half of its sales. Faced with declining sales, the candy maker has been cutting costs, boosting its marketing, and introducing new products. The Ezaki family founded Ezaki Glico in the 1920s with Glico, a candy derived from oysters. President Katsuhisa Ezaki was kidnapped in 1984, the same year extortionists laced the company's products with cyanide.
