Albanese Candy has been making the World’s Best Gummies & Candies in our Northwest Indiana Candy Factory for over 30 years.
It's not surprising to see how quickly our company & our World's Best & Gold Label brands have grown. For years we've had a simple recipe for success putting flavor & texture first, always finding a better way & never taking ourselves too seriously. Our gummies & candies taste different (and by different we mean better) because we are different. All of our gummies & candies are made at our factory located in the heart of the Midwest and produced with only the highest quality ingredients sourced exclusively from American & European growers -- sorry China. From nut clusters made with Virginia peanuts to Chocolate covered Michigan cherries – you'll taste the difference that better ingredients make. Don't be fooled (we're pretty sure your taste buds won't be) but you can always spot the World's Best Gummies by checking the belly – all Albanese Bears get the “A” of approval stamped right on their belly before they leave our factory!

Seeing going in our reaches store and seeing it all the way down to watching our employees make it and how proud they are to actually work at Albany's. What's truly innovative is in the g What's unique about the Ultimate is it's really trying to replicate your experience that you have when you're eating the most fresh ripe fruit that you're having at that time. So really brought innovation to the category and showed that even though they're natural flavors and colors from fruits and vegetables, that really we can deliver on flavors still. This has been a 12 year, 10 to 12 year succession plan for us to fully take over Albany's and so my dad has always set the path and so we veer a little bit right, we veer a little bit left, but we continue on that path of just sticking to who we are as a company, right, and we are innovators and we want to create the best possible products whether that's in chocolate, g For me being inducted into the Society of Innovators is It's really a representation to the team of what we've been able to accomplish together from our pursuit of always being the world's best. Being inducted into the Society of Innovators is not about myself or my sisters, it's really about what Albany's Confectionery has been able to do in the industry. My name is Bethany Albany's.
