One of the largest manufacturers of jawbreakers and Jordan almonds in the U.S., Sconza Candy Company has moved beyond just sugar confections, transforming itself into a panning specialist? With its roots founded in sugar confections, Oakland, Calif.-based Sconza Candy Company started a new chapter in its history four years ago by entering into the chocolate confections market. The company initially produced a small chocolate-panned line, but now that line represents a major part of the company's sales. "Going into chocolate was just a natural line extension of what we were already doing," says Greg Cater, Sconza's sales manager. "Our customers wanted us to offer a broader range of candies, so we made the move. It's been good for us and enabled us to expand our core business of panning."
