Financial details were not disclosed when the completion of the deal was announced yesterday (1 December). 


Following a “transitional” period, DeMet’s will merge the brands into its existing confectionery portfolio, which includes Turtles and Flipz.


“The Treasures and Stixx brands are both innovative and high-quality products. They are an excellent addition to our existing base business and we plan to expand these well-known brands into new formats and flavour profiles in the near future,” said David Clarke, DeMet’s president and CEO.


“The Treasures and Stixx brands will enable us to reach a broader consumer base,” James Gerbo, SVP marketing, added. “These products appeal to segments within the category that we currently do not serve.”
