Note on methodology: All sales, plant and employee estimates are for confectionery operations only, unless otherwise noted. In addition, Candy Industry has attempted to factor out industrial chocolate sales and plants. All estimates come from a combination of manufacturer surveys, annual reports, media reports, private and published research, and analyst interviews. For most public companies, projections were made for fiscal 2014 based on 2013 sales and growth reported in the most recent 2014 statements, if available. For most private companies, sales are estimated for calendar year 2014. Currencies have been converted based on the average exchange rate from January-October 2014, and are highlighted in red. Wherever data was lacking, information is noted as N/A (not available).

* Includes non-confectionery items
¹ Includes temporary workers
² Consumer goods only. We project Natra to do another $150 million from industrial goods.
³ See’s Candies has 550-year-round employees and 1,200 seasonal.
4 The number of plants, employees, and sales for Sunrise Confections, div. of Mount Franklin Food, doesn’t include its Azar Nut division.
