Note on methodology: All sales, plant and employee estimates are for confectionery operations only, unless otherwise noted. In addition, Candy Industry has attempted to factor out industrial chocolate sales and plants. All estimates come from a combination of manufacturer surveys, annual reports, media reports, private and published research, and analyst interviews. For most public companies, projections were made for fi scal 2016 based on 2015 sales and growth reported in the most recent 2015 statements, if available. For most private companies, sales are estimated for calendar year 2016. Currencies have been converted based on the average exchange rate from January-October 2016, and are highlighted in red. Wherever data was lacking, information is noted as N/A (not available).
