The Dark Story Behind The Collapse of America's Biggest Candy Empire | The Necco Factory

For 171 years, the New England Confectionery Company (NECCO) stood at the center of American candy manufacturing, producing billions of Necco Wafers and iconic conversation hearts from its historic Massachusetts factory. Founded in 1847, NECCO grew into a national powerhouse, dominating the wafer candy market and supplying retailers across the United States, even providing rations during wartime. But shifting consumer tastes, private equity takeovers, factory relocation, FDA inspection violations, and a rapid 2018 bankruptcy led to one of the most dramatic factory collapses in modern American manufacturing history. This business documentary explores the full rise and fall of the NECCO factory, uncovering the industrial decisions, financial restructuring, and regulatory crises that ended America’s oldest continuously operating candy company.
