One of Fairfield’s largest employers and family owned companies, Jelly Belly, has been sold to Chicago based firm Ferrara Candy Company.
Mayor Kathrine Moy of Fairfield said the company told local employees that all of their jobs are safe, and Jelly Belly will remain in Fairfield. Jelly Belly, which has been owned by the Rowland family since it’s inception, was founded in Illinois in 1896, but now has locations in California and Thailand as well.
“As we considered the future of Jelly Belly Candy Company, we have been steadfast in our commitment to create a win-win situation for our employees, consumers, and products,” said Herman Rowland, Sr., Chairman of the Board of Directors of Jelly Belly. “When I met with the Ferrara team, I recognized a like-minded group that shares our knowledge and passion for the candy business and has the talent and resources to grow our products and the careers of our people around the world.
“Our dedication to creating high-quality, innovative sugar confections for the world and our deep relationships with retailers aligns perfectly with the Jelly Belly track record and passion for quality, reliability, and customer service,” said Marco Capurso, Chief Executive Officer of Ferrara. “We look forward to working together to build on the success of all our brands.”
