"Grand Candy" company is the largest domestic production facility in Armenia. The company was founded early in 2000. It first started out officially as Yerevan Macaroni Factory in 1933 producing a variety of products.
At the end of 1999 the shareholders of the company were changed and Hrant Vardanyan, the new owner of the company founded Armenian-Canadian JV "Grand Candy" Co Ltd on the basis of "Armconfection” factory". This was the start of the mass reconstruction of the factory. The modernization of equipment and introduction of new production lines were to follow.
In April 2000, after large-scale reconstruction works the factory introduced its first products, which immediately found a distinct place on the domestic market. It was not long time before the company’s products became highly popular among the local consumers.
Today, "Grand Candy" produces more than 400 different products. "Grand Candy" is not only the largest confectionery manufacturer in Armenia, but also the largest company in the Armenian food industry. It is the only factory in Trans Caucasus to process cocoa beans.
"Grand Candy" production is certified with ISO 9001:2008 quality management standards and ISO 22000:20005 food safety control standards. The advantage of "Grand Candy" products is the high quality and the use of natural ingredients, such as cocoa and milk products, nuts and fillings made from fresh fruits. Despite the high cost of natural raw materials, "Grand Candy" never uses cheap and low quality ingredients or artificial additives of any kind. The key priority of "Grand Candy" is the health of its consumers. Therefore, all the ingredients used in the production undergo an extensive analysis in the main laboratory of the company.
In 2000 "Grand Candy" set up a chain of brand stores, the first in the long chain being "Ponchikanots".
