The Iconic American Brands Are No Longer American

Brach’s stands as a pillar in the candy world, originating in Illinois in 1904 by Emil Brach. Renowned for its variety of confections, the company’s journey has seen numerous mergers, crafting its sweet legacy.

In 1980, ownership passed to Bertram Johnson and later to Ferrara, eventually merging into Ferrara Candy Company. Now under the Swiss Barry Callebaut, Brach’s shifted its original base to Dallas, Texas, in 2004, marking a new chapter.
