Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers joined Impact Confections during its celebration of a $12.4 million expansion at its Janesville manufacturing facility on Tuesday.
Since being purchased by Mexico-based KUA LLC in 2019, Impact Confections’ sales have nearly tripled. In 2023, sales reached $80 million.
“With this new addition, Impact Confections and KUA will not only produce better quality candy, decrease downtime, and increase efficiency, but also set new standards for automation and long-term growth in Wisconsin,” said Gov. Evers in a statement.
“This announcement is another positive addition in a long list of examples of the incredible opportunities we have here in Wisconsin for international companies to grow and thrive. I want to thank the team at Impact Confections and KUA for their commitment to Wisconsin and congratulate them on their continued success.”
The Wisconsin Economic Development Corp. will provide up to $215,000 in performance-based state tax credits. This figure is based on capital investment and employment.
Impact Confections is best known for making Warheads and Melster Candies. It also provides contract manufacturing services.
