Brach & Brock Confections Incorporated (Chicago, Ill.), a privately held company, has begun construction on a new $50 million confections plant in Linares, Nuevo Leon, Mexico. Site work commenced back in mid September on a 350,000 square foot plant that will be the new home to Brach's line of candy corn and other seasonal confectionary products that used to be produced at the soon to be phased out plant in Chicago, Illinois. Jacobs Severdrup (Saint Louis, Mo.) is providing design services and their Mexico division, Kujesa-Jacobs (Mexico City, District Federale Mexico), will install the production lines and provide construction management services. Group Garza Punzo (Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, Mexico) will act as the general contractor for the 350,000 square foot production building shell. The project is scheduled for completion in August of 2003. Industrialinfo.com reported back in January 2001 that the company had announced plans for a phased shutdown of the 2.3 million square foot Chicago confections plant due to high domestic sugar prices, the age of the nearly century old facility and consolidation among major candy players. All manufacturing operations in Chicago will cease by the end of 2003, but their headquarters will remain there. Originally founded in 1904 by Emil J. Brach, Brach Confections purchased Brock Candy Company in 1994 forming Brach & Brock Confections Incorporated, which produces over 200 varieties of candies, chocolates and fruit snacks.
