BBX Capital Corporation has announced that, through a subsidiary, it has acquired Williams & Bennett, a Florida-based manufacturer of chocolate products.

Headquartered in Boynton Beach, Florida, Williams & Bennett supplies boutique retailers, big box chains, department stores, national resort properties, corporate customers and private label brands. Since 1992 the firm has built a reputation of branded chocolate drenched products.

“For over twenty years, Williams & Bennett has built a premier brand of chocolate products and confections through well-defined distribution channels,” says Mr Jarett Levan, President of BBX Capital.

BBX Capital has also recently acquired Hoffman’s Chocolate, and its subsidiaries Boca Bons and Good Fortunes, which provide premier chocolate products.

“The Williams & Bennett and Hoffman’s Chocolate acquisitions provide BBX Sweet Holdings with a platform and strategic opportunities to capitalize on the high growth premium chocolate market,” says Mr Levan. “We are very excited about both these acquisitions and the ability to extend our reach into the confectionary market.”
