Brach's Confections, Inc.
 PROFILE
Brach's Confections is on a constant sugar high. The company produces more than 2000 kinds of candy, mostly under the Brach and Brock brand names (it acquired Brock Candy Co. in 1994), but also under licensed names. Its licensed candy includes Hi-C and Froot Loops fruit snacks and Smucker's jellybeans. The company's individually wrapped Pick-A-Mix candies are bagged by customers and priced by weight. Brach's sold its chocolate-mint subsidiary, Andes Candies, to Tootsie Roll Industries in 2000. Swiss businessman Klaus Jacobs owns the company. The company plans to close its massive Chicago candy factory and outsource production to Argentina's Arcor, a major South American candy maker.
