The U. S. confectionery market reached $33.6 billion in sales last year and is expected to attain about $39.6 billion in five years*. This trend presents opportunities for strong growth for GKI Foods LLC because it has the ability to provide high quality, affordable confectionery products, and the flexibility to package products in styles and sizes that meet customers’ willingness to purchase.
At its 100,000-square-foot Brighton, MI operation, which includes a production plant and a packaging facility, the 43-year-old company makes granola products, as well as fancy chocolate candies, enrobed (coated) products, panned candies, fruits and nut confections for many national companies, including upscale retail stores and major pharmacy chains. GKI Foods offers bulk and private label packaging in tubs, laydown and peg bags and stand-up pouches for mid-size retail chains and provides bulk packaged products to companies that repackage products under their own brands.
