Ferrara

What an incredible evening with our Ferrara Evoke Pride Business Resource Group colleagues at the Human Rights Campaign- Chicago Dinner! It was an inspirational evening celebrating the progress HRC continues to drive for LGBTQ+ equality. We’re proud to support HRC’s work toward a more inclusive future. 

We are proud to support the American Cancer Society, bringing the Ferrara Dessert Hour to the Taste of Hope event at Navy Pier! Expanding upon Ferrara’s Lemonheads partnership with ACS, this event was another opportunity to deepen our commitment to supporting the fight against cancer, sweetening moments in the lives of people with cancer and their families.

Today, we honor and celebrate the veterans who have bravely served our country. At Ferrara, we’re grateful for the sacrifices made by these heroes and we are proud to support veterans within our company and across our communities. Their dedication, resilience, and commitment inspire us all. To all veterans, thank you for your service and sacrifice.

We were proud to partner with the National Confectioners Association for this year’s White House Halloween Party, “Hallo-Read"!

This Halloween, we're helping put joy into the community, one sweet moment at a time. Ferrara is proud to spread smiles and create memories that last far beyond spooky season. Happy Halloween from all of us at Ferrara!

Spooky season is in full swing at Ferrara! Our team went all out for this year’s Halloween party with creative costumes, festive treats, and plenty of fun. From classic candies to sweet surprises, we celebrated in style with the people who make Ferrara a great place to work. Wishing everyone a Happy Halloween! 🎃🍬

This year's Jelly Belly Munchkin Masquerade was a spooky success!  Last weekend, members of the community joined us at the Jelly Belly Visitor’s Center for a morning full of fun with free Jelly Belly Express train rides, factory tours, and museum experiences. The Beanboozled Challenge kept everyone on their toes, while the first 300 kiddos received special goodies, including Mr. Jelly Belly’s coloring kit and a trick-or-treat candy bag.  The festivities didn’t stop there—families also gathered for the Trunk or Treat Car Show, sponsored by the Chelu Family and Friends. We had a blast celebrating Halloweekend with you all! 🎃👻

Innovation at Ferrara is driving sweet success! Nerds Gummy Clusters have become a standout hit, a testament to our team’s commitment to bold ideas.    Through strategic risk-taking and engineering the perfect balance of crunchy and gummy textures, we've transformed an initial concept into a $500 million phenomenon, reshaping the candy aisle and meeting record-breaking demand.    We continually push boundaries in the sugar candy industry and innovate to deliver more of what consumers crave.

What an incredible event! This week, our ¡UNIDOS! business resource group closed out Hispanic Heritage Month with a powerful keynote session led by Miguel Joey Aviles, national D&I speaker, consultant and coach. The keynote—titled “The Power of Identity: A Roadmap to Achieve Human Connection and Business Growth fueled by the Hispanic Factor”—was presented to our manufacturing colleagues at our Forest Park facility, as well as our corporate teams in our Chicago HQ.   At both events, Joey shared his deep expertise, sparking meaningful cross-cultural conversations about how embracing identity strengthens both our human connections and drives business success. It was an inspiring and we couldn’t be prouder to celebrate our Hispanic and Latine employees and foster inclusion throughout Ferrara.
