Where Candy Comes to Life

Ferrara is building a 750,000 sq ft facility in Orangeburg, South Carolina. We are investing $675M and creating a projected 1,000 new jobs over the next 10 years with the first production lines expected to be operational in the first quarter of 2029.

This new location is about more than innovation and growth—it’s about people. This is a place where people take pride in their work, look out for one another, and show up ready to build something that matters. In Orangeburg we found more than a location, we found a community that shares our values.
