Fini Sweets Brings Imaginative Offerings and Next Generation Flavors to U.S. Candy Market
Global candy sensation's creative inspiration, innovations delight at 2019 Sweets and Snacks Expo
ELK GROVE VILLAGE, Ill., June 25, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- The U.S. candy market is getting sweeter. Global candy sensation Fini Sweets is expanding its North American presence and product range with more of its famous imaginative offerings and innovative new package designs. The worldwide candy leader, which drew crowds at the 2019 Sweets & Snacks Expo in Chicago last month, is bringing more of its big taste and colorful shapes to U.S. consumers this summer.
Fini Sweets, Spain's No. 1 candy manufacturer and distributor, has nine licorice and gummy products on its North American roster. Products include allergen-free, gluten-free and vegan friendly sweets to satisfy a growing and largely unfulfilled market. Fini Sweets will expand its U.S. retail presence this summer, and introduce Flip It, a signature packaging innovation that satisfies two candy cravings in one clever package for twice the fun and flavor.
"Our creations deliver on two of the most important drivers of consumer choice – amazing taste and texture that surprises and satisfies," said Fini Sweets Director of Marketing Trevin Morton. "With our North American candy lineup, Fini Sweets is celebrating a global flavor palette and combinations of shape and texture that can only be found with Fini."
The celebrated creative spirit of Fini Sweets was on display at the Sweets & Snacks Expo, as the brand paired with renowned candy artists to create a 4.5-foot rendering of The Chicago Theatre using Fini candy as their medium. The display was an homage to the brand's new U.S. headquarters and an illustration of how Fini Sweets inspire the imagination.
"We believe every Fini Sweets product is its own small work of art – a testament to innovation, vibrant color, imaginative shapes, and, most importantly, the art of taste," said Morton. "We're excited to liven up the summer snacking season with the debut of our Flip It line and introduction of other creative, summer-ready snacks."
