American Licorice Company

Since 1914, our recipes have always begun with the key elements of quality ingredients, quality people, and a love for what we do. Since Martin Kretchmer’s, the guy who started it all, humble beginnings selling candy out of a cart (a story told by his 96 year old granddaughter that can neither be confirmed nor denied), our family has been dedicated to providing candy lovers with the highest quality products and experiences. As we move into the future, we remain rooted in our values, while also embracing a strategy of investing in the happiness of our people, communities, and environment. If we are successful in those three areas we believe we can change the world for the better.
American Licorice understands that the key ingredient of our success truly comes from the dedication, quality, and happiness of our people. That’s why the bedrock values we look for in our associates are integrity, compassion, engagement, and those who want to be team players. We that every associate bring their best everyday and be ready for a fast pace, exciting work environment that is constantly changing.
Just as we expect the best from our associates, we too, aim to provide the best for them by encouraging and supporting success in all areas of professional and personal development.
