Arway Confections opened its doors in 1950 with a concept of offering higher quality products than what was then available in the marketplace. The first product the company produced was Chocolate Pecan Caramel Patties. Sears Roebuck & Co., who at the time was the largest retailer in the United States, became Arway’s first customer. Fast forward 65 years, and Arway currently produces over 10 million pounds of product each year, has a long list of loyal customers nationwide, and has earned an excellent reputation within the candy and nut industry.
