About Us

Albanese Confectionery Group, Inc., is a US-based manufacturer of The World’s Best Gummies, Gold Label Chocolates, Freshly Roasted Nuts, as well as other confections.

The company was founded in 1983 with a real passion and reputation for producing the best food products, resulting in steady and sustainable growth.  Albanese Confectionery has only ever used the highest quality US or European food ingredients.  In 1997, we embarked upon construction of a new manufacturing facility in Hobart, Indiana, and entered into the gummi market.  Applying our food expertise to gummies, the efforts of our group has resulted in the following innovations:

1998 – Through formulation and new technology, we were able to achieve a dramatic breakthrough in the flavor release of gelatin articles – technically thought impossible.

2001 – Our second technical innovation allowed for a dramatically more sour gelatin product . Again, technically thought impossible, we placed the sour inside of the product.

2002 – Received Professional Candy Buyer’s “Product of the Year” award in the non-chocolate category.

2003 – Introduced old style, highest quality rotogravure printing to complement our world-class gummi candy.

2006 – Nominated again for Professional Candy Buyer’s “Product of the Year” award in the non-chocolate category.  Received the prestigious “Technology Award” for developing the process of placing Omega 3 Fish Oil into a gummi.

2008 – Nominated for the Professional Candy Buyer’s “Product of the Year” award in the non-chocolate category.  To our knowledge, no other company has received as many nominations.

Albanese Confectionery has become renowned for our technical expertise in the use of vitamins, nutraceuticals, and other actives in conjunction with confections.  This highly specialized expertise has allowed us to work with many contract manufacturing customers.  From formulation through manufacturing, Albanese has become the “go-to” company in our field.
