Ferrero North America has announced plans to invest up to $214.4 million in expanding its plant in Bloomington, Illinois, set to become operational in 2023.

Ferrero USA and Ferrara are among those named as winners of the consumer-voted award for product innovation. 

Catherine Bertrac, senior VP, marketing, Kinder North America, recently spoke to Candy Industry about the Kinder brand’s growth and some of its latest innovations and partnerships.

Ferrero USA, Inc. will feature a slate of new products at the 2021 Sweets & Snacks Expo, set for June 23-25 in Indianapolis, Ind.

Kinder Bueno is celebrating #NationalSelfieDay on Monday, June 21 by introducing buenobot by Kinder Bueno, a celebrity-inspired Instagram filter to help consumers feel like stars in their daily lives.

Despite significant hurdles created by the COVID-19 pandemic, many new products managed to beat the odds and emerge as winners, making their way into shoppers’ carts during unprecedented times.

Based on the popular full-size candy bar, these bite-sized pieces feature smooth milk chocolate, a thin, crispy wafer filled with a creamy hazelnut filling and dark chocolate drizzle.

Thin and crispy, wafers are often enjoyed while they’re sandwiching cream — but for decades, candy companies have also incorporated them into tasty, textural confections.

Springboarding off the success of Kinder Joy, Ferrero USA marked this month the official U.S. introduction of its second Kinder product: Kinder Bueno.

New York chocolate fans will be the first to celebrate the U.S. launch Kinder Bueno, one of Europe's best selling chocolate bars.
