FROM THE PUBLISHER


I am pleased to provide you with Confectioner’s 2005 Source Book. This edition includes more listings than ever before from candy companies around the world. Also enclosed within this edition is the first ever Confectioner/ Candy Industry Contract Manufacturing & Private Label Resource Guide designed to assist you in finding partner manufacturers for your private label needs. Confectioner also offers all of the listing information enclosed within the Source Book in a searchable format online at www.confectioner.com. When you take the opportunity to visit www.confectioner.com you not only have the opportunity to search the Source Book, you will have access to Stagnito Communications’ e-library that is home to a wealth of candy category information. It also allows you to search for information covering the food, beverage and packaging industries as a whole.
