Concord Confections
The Crowned Leader
Established in 1986 in Concord, Ontario, Concord Confections
has rapidly expanded to rank now as one of the world's leading
manufacturers of bubble gum and candy products. The company is
renowned in the confectionery market for its incredible product
breadth and benchmark quality. Concord's prized Dubble Bubble®
brand (obtained in it's 1998 acquisition of Fleer Confections)
was the first bubble gum on the market, and maintains a
preeminent position in the category. The famous crown - oval log
remains a classic icon of American popular culture.
From modest beginnings, Concord drew the collective attention of
the confectionery industry with a stream of blockbuster product
innovations, Brand introductions such as Tear Jerkers® and Tongue
Splashers® bubble gum spurred levels of consumer enthusiasm
previously unfathomable in the category. Sales quickly
skyrocketed and an extensive international network of
distribution was established.
Widespread Distribution
Concord's now dominant retail and wholesale presence in packaged
goods is bolstered by consistently strong demand for bulk packed
products by the vending trade; consolidator / re-packers; and the
private label market. These complementary pipelines have coursed
Concord products to literally hundreds-of-thousands of points of
distribution in over 60 countries across the globe.
State of the art facilities
Concord operates production facilities in Concord, Ontario and
Barcelona, Spain. The company also recently finished
construction of a new state of the art 160,000 square foot office
headquarters and distribution centre, just minutes away from the
Ontario plant. This new facility brings the superior scale and
efficiency required to support strong long-term growth
projections in both domestic and international sales.
Our Commitment
In the coming years, Concord will maintain our commitment to the
development and extension of existing brands, while keeping a
steady eye to new product innovation. Of equal importance during
this period of expansion in Concord's dedication to maintaining
the flexibility and responsiveness that have the foundation for
continued prosperity.
