NECCO CANDY MAKES A SWEET SALE IN CANADA In February, 2015, NECCO, a privately held company of American Capital Company, located in Revere, Massachusetts, in the 5th Congressional District, attended Food Export’s Focused Trade Mission to Vancouver, Canada for Retail Food Service & Specialty Products where they secured distribution with two new distributors. On site at the mission, they were successful in lining up annual projected sales over $50,000 USD from various Canadian confectionary distributors and manufacturers. According to Director, Thomas Leonard, “As a Director at NECCO, I got the company involved with Food Export two years ago and have attended five Buyers Missions and two seminars. Because we are new to the International market, we have had a slow start, but we are now accepted into the Branded Program and can continue on. The Canada effort via Food Export’s Canadian In-Market Representative, Kathy Boyce, has been most satisfactory.” As a result of this mission and a Canadian Seminar in Portland, Maine, NECCO found and employed a Canadian Sales Management team, found new distributors, established private label items and started Canadian packaging designs. With going into the Branded Program they hope to offset the US vs. Canadian Dollar currency liability thru good marketing. This participation helped convince their senior management that Canada is their best launch into International Business. NECCO is a producer of Necco Wafers, Sweethearts Valentines Candy, Canada Mints, Mighty Malt Balls, Clark Bars, Bulk Candy and Haviland Thin Mints in the Retail Segment. The MA Department of Agricultural Resources is a member of Food Export USA Northeast, and MDAR’s Commissioner is a board member. .

From Sweets to Science
From Sweets to Science The Transformation of 250 Massachusetts Avenue 2 From Sweets to Science Transforming an almost 80-year-old candy factory into a state-of-the-art laboratory to enable, stimulate, and excite world-class scientists to research and discover innovative drugs, took the dedication, creativity, and inexhaustible energy of hundreds of people. The former candy factory owned and operated by the New England Confectionery Company (NECCO), at 250 Massachusetts Avenue, was identified as the headquarters of the Novartis Institutes for BioMedical Research (NIBR) in August 2002. Novartis communicated to an experienced team of architects and designers at The Stubbins Associates, Inc., the need to “invent” an interior environment that would encourage, foster, and facilitate collaboration and the exchange of ideas and knowledge between scientists. To operate as an efficient and productive organization, the building would have to: • Emphasize openness and transparency • Promote informal social interaction • Integrate interacting scientific disciplines • Make an efficient use of space • Energize the scientists The architects and designers planned a renovation that set new standards of laboratory design. John Moriarty & Associates, Inc. was contracted to do the job, and they fulfilled their task on budget and in record time. The NIBR global headquarters has been occupied and operational since April 2004. From Sweets to Science 1 History of 250 Massachusetts Avenue Until the middle of the 19th century, the land the former NECCO building occupies was tidal marsh. In 1853, railroad tracks were laid, and in 1890, Massachusetts Avenue was FACT: constructed, spurring commercial development. 2,000 miles of telephone and data cables The former NECCO building and its accompanying buildings were completed and occupied installed in 1927 and became the world headquarters for NECCO.

Abstract After establishing the ubiquitous nature of candy conversation hearts in our popular culture and Valentine’s Day celebrations, this paper provides an outline of a simple classroom assignment that can be used to achieve three possible objectives: to analyze cultural messages about love; to illustrate the research method of content analysis; and to challenge students to construct their own cultural critique of the messages on candy hearts and the age group most likely to give and receive them on Valentine’s Day. Candy Hearts in our Popular Culture It is one of the oldest ways in our popular culture for Americans to share their sweet nothings: the candy conversation heart.

Necco Dispute Clears Hurdle in Bankrtuptcy Court
CHESTO MEANS BUSINESS Necco dispute clears hurdle in bankruptcy court By Jon Chesto Globe Staff, July 24, 2019, 8:25 p.m. The NECCO factory in Revere. (ARAM BOGHOSIAN FOR THE BOSTON GLOBE) The Sky Bar, Sweethearts, and Candy Buttons all have new owners, as does the shuttered Necco factory in Revere that had once churned out a sea of confections that would make Willy Wonka proud. But the roughly $10 million left over from the sale of Greater Boston’s last great candy maker? That remains untouched amid a dispute between a bankruptcy trustee and Necco’s former parent company. The trustee, Harold Murphy, just won a significant victory in US bankruptcy court in Boston. Judge Melvin Hoffman essentially denied nearly every effort by Necco’s former parent firm, Ares Capital, to dismiss a case brought by Murphy. Ares had acquired a previous private-equity owner of Necco, ACAS. The case now moves forward, with a trial expected next year. Murphy has sued Ares, claiming the investment firm and its predecessor piled debt onto the Necco business while running the once massive candy empire into the ground. Murphy wants Necco’s former suppliers and other unsecured creditors to be fully reimbursed for the bills left unpaid by the candy company’s demise last year, a figure that totals at least $20 million. Murphy is trying to persuade the judge to knock Ares from its position as first in line for the proceeds from the Necco sale. (Ares was a secured creditor as well as the former owner.) He also claims that ACAS enriched itself from Necco over the years, even as the candy business bled tens of millions.

Necco Wafers Candies Make a Sweet Comeback After 2-Year Absence
5/27/2020 Necco Wafers candies make a sweet comeback after 2-year absence Trends Necco Wafers candies make a sweet comeback after 2-year absence After the New England Confectionery Company went bankrupt in 2018, all seemed lost until Spangler Candy stepped up to the plate. Goya pork rinds, Sylvia's soul food products, Necco wafer candyGetty Images May 27, 2020, 4:16 PM EDT / Source: TODAY By Randee Dawn If you've been craving the classic candy known as Necco Wafers, for the past two years, you've been out of luck. Amazon doesn't have them. Ebay might — for a price — but bear in mind that any rolls would be at least two years old. Soon, that's about to change. This week, in an exclusive interview with TODAY Food, Kirk Vashaw, the chairman and CEO of Spangler Candy, revealed that fresh rolls of Necco Wafers are set to hit store shelves in just a few days. The candies come in eight distinct ﬂavors; only the chocolate one might seem a bit diﬀerent.Courtesy of Spangler Candy "We've always admired the brand and how it's woven in with the fabric of our culture," Vashaw said. "It's neat to be eating a candy that was carried by Civil War soldiers, and taken on Arctic and Antarctic expeditions, and issued to GIs in World War II as a morale booster. It's a piece of our history." He's right: Necco Wafers (the name is an acronym for the company that created the candies in 1847, the New England Confectionery Company) are a long-lasting, old-fashioned treat that's been around for a very, very long time.

Revere Mayor Responds to Soaring Unemployment in His City - the Boston Globe
6/30/2020 Revere mayor responds to soaring unemployment in his city - The Boston Globe Revere mayor responds to soaring unemployment in his city Reliance on the hospitality industry has hobbled the city's economy By Jon Chesto Globe Staff, Updated June 29, 2020, 8:19 p.m. A couple walks on Revere Beach, Saturday, May 16, 2020, in Revere, Mass. (AP Photo/Michael Dwyer) MICHAEL DWYER/ASSOCIATED PRESS The COVID-19 pandemic has slammed the brakes on the Revere Renaissance. In 2019, the city’s fortunes were on the rise. Amazon agreed to lease the former Necco candy factory, where it still plans to hire hundreds for a new “delivery station.” Residents found plentiful hospitality jobs, as the hotel and restaurant businesses boomed in Greater Boston and Wynn Resorts opened a giant casino in nearby Everett Revere’s https://www.bostonglobe.com/2020/06/29/business/revere-mayor-responds-soaring-unemployment-his-city/ 1/4 6/30/2020 Revere mayor responds to soaring unemployment in his city - The Boston Globe Greater Boston and Wynn Resorts opened a giant casino in nearby Everett. Revere s unemployment rate was 3 percent, essentially matching the state average. Nearly anyone who wanted a job could get one. Then the coronavirus hit. Amazon is moving ahead, but much of Revere’s economy is falling behind. Many of the region’s hospitality jobs are gone, and some won’t be coming back. The latest figures show Revere now has the second highest unemployment rate of any city in the state. Its jobless rate of 25.6 percent puts it behind only Lawrence.

The Sky Bar's Triumphant Return
DEVRA FIRST The Sky Bar’s triumphant return How an iconic candy was almost lost and then, unexpectedly, saved By Devra First Globe Staff,Updated November 13, 2019, 6:00 a.m. Sky Bars are being made again locally, thanks to Louise Mawhinney who bought new equipment and the Sky Bar name from Necco when it closed. They're made at a new storefront location on Boston Post Road in Sudbury. JOHN TLUMACKI/GLOBE STAFF SUDBURY — All of this might have been lost. The futuristic red logo, shooting across the bright yellow background. The impeccable aesthetics, a bar of chocolate divided into four sections, each sloping downward toward the next, etched in a fanlike pattern. The you-can-have-it-all gratification of one candy with a quartet of fillings: caramel, vanilla, peanut, fudge. New England Confectionery Co.'s Sky Bar: born 1938, defunct 2018, the year Necco closed, putting all of its brands up for auction. Most went to experienced operators. Sweethearts Candies and Necco Wafers were purchased by the century-old Spangler Candy Company, perhaps best known for its tangerine-colored, mysteriously banana-flavored Circus Peanuts. Boyer Candy Company (Mallo Cups), started during the Great Depression, snapped up Clark Bars. But Sky Bar? Sky Bar became the property of Louise Mawhinney, a former biotech executive originally from Scotland who runs an eclectic gourmet gift shop called Duck Soup in Sudbury, Mass. She had never made candy before, but a customer told her about the auction and she just couldn’t let Sky Bar disappear. Louise Mawhinney and her son, Frank Mawhinney, make Sky Bars at their storefront location on Boston Post Road in Sudbury.
