Taste of Nature, Inc. has expanded its production capacity with the
purchase of a 60,000-square-foot facility in the Chicago suburb of
Melrose Park.
The addition allows Taste of Nature to continue the growth of its
panned chocolate confections, including its Cookie Dough Bites®
Line, as well as to support an increase of its cotton candy
production and capacity of its Shari® Candies Peg Bag Line. The
company has hired 40 additional workers in the facility.
“The facility gives us room to grow our lineup of theatre boxes,
peg bags, cotton candies, laydown bags and novelty items” said
Douglas Chu, co-founder. “The extension of our chocolate panning
operations is expected to be finished by the end of Q1, with
equipment for an additional line to be installed by March.”
"We have simply run out of capacity and want the ability to support
the growth our business," co-founder Scott Samet added.
