Arway-Long Grove Confections

Arway Confections, operating under the combined brand Arway-Long Grove, is a specialty confectionery manufacturer and wholesaler serving the B2B marketplace with an extensive range of bulk-packed confections, roasted and salted nuts, trail mixes, and handcrafted chocolates. The company brings together two legacy brands — Arway Confections and Long Grove Confectionery Co. — to offer a comprehensive portfolio of sweet snacks and confectionery products suited for retail, gourmet specialty, and holiday gifting channels.

Arway Confections is best known for its copper kettle cooked confections, a traditional production method that imparts distinctive texture and flavor to its candy offerings. This artisanal approach to manufacturing distinguishes the company from large-scale industrial producers and positions it firmly within the gourmet and specialty food segment. Its roasted and salted nut lines and custom trail mix blends further broaden its appeal to buyers seeking premium snack options in bulk formats.

Long Grove Confectionery Co., a key division of the combined operation, has been handcrafting chocolate since 1975. With decades of experience, the chocolate division emphasizes quality craftsmanship, attention to detail, and creative packaging — attributes particularly valuable for seasonal, gifting, and holiday product lines. The integration of Long Grove's chocolate expertise with Arway's broader confectionery manufacturing capabilities makes the combined entity a versatile supplier for both everyday and seasonal product needs.

The company actively supports co-manufacturing and private label programs, making it a viable partner for retailers, distributors, and CPG brands seeking to develop or expand their own confectionery lines without investing in proprietary production infrastructure. Wholesale ordering is facilitated through dedicated order forms, including a high-volume 500 lb order form, indicating the company's capacity to fulfill large-quantity B2B orders efficiently.

Product catalogs span multiple categories and seasonal occasions, including bulk everyday items, Valentine's Day, Spring, Easter, Summer, and Holiday offerings, reflecting a well-developed seasonal product calendar. The availability of a dedicated 2026 Holiday Catalog signals active forward planning and ongoing product development. This breadth of seasonal coverage makes Arway-Long Grove a reliable year-round supplier for specialty food retailers, gift shops, and confectionery distributors.
