Confectionery supplier acquired

The Hancocks Group has acquired confectionery supplier JTS International, based in Birmingham, UK.

Mark Watson, Hancocks CEO comments, “We’re delighted to be acquiring JTS International and have held the company in high regard for a long time. The operation alongside World of Sweets will create a strong company that can provide a much broader range of wholesale confectionery to the retail and leisure markets and a more comprehensive service overall. World of Sweets enjoys a number of exclusive product ranges and JTS International brings many more with it, which can only be good news for our customers”.

John Stimpson, JTS International MD comments, “Hancocks is a great new home for JTS International because it too is entirely committed to developing the wholesale confectionery market in the UK. With roots dating back to 1962, Hancocks is an expert in its field and the combination will be of great benefit to JTS customers going forward. I am confident that I’ve placed JTS International into safe hands for the future”.
