The sale, which was originally announced in September, includes all of the business and assets of Brach’s and its affiliates, including three factories.


No financial terms have been disclosed. Dallas-based Brach’s has annual gross sales of around US$ 270m, with sugar candy accounting for around 75% and chocolate products making up the remaining 25%.


Callebaut only acquired Brach’s four years ago, but has elected to offload the business in order to focus on its business-to-business chocolate operations.


Farley’s & Sathers, which is owned by private equity group Catterton Partners, manufactures and distributes confectionery, gum and snacks.
