Freeport, New York - Chocolate Works has acquired Thompson Chocolate, a heritage brand known for its specialty and foil-wrapped chocolate products.

Based in Meriden, Connecticut, Thompson was founded in 1879 and has a long-standing reputation for crafting quality chocolate for well-known brands and retailers.

This acquisition is a strategic move by Chocolate Works to enhance its capabilities in specialty chocolate manufacturing.

Thompson's unique foil-wrapping expertise across various chocolate types sets it apart in the U.S. market and brings additional value to Chocolate Works’ product offerings.

Steve Gollob, Chief Executive Officer of Thompson Chocolate, brings years of leadership experience in the confectionery world.

Thompson expanded both its production capacity and product line, while preserving the company’s deep-rooted tradition of excellence in chocolate making.

This deal marks Chocolate Works’ second acquisition, following its 2022 purchase of Moonstruck Chocolate.

These moves show Chocolate Works’ commitment to building a top-tier specialty chocolate platform that can serve both large-scale corporations and up-and-coming brands.
