The PEZ candy brand is celebrating its 100th anniversary, marking a milestone for the company behind the familiar candy. The company’s sole U.S. manufacturing facility is in Orange, Connecticut, where a visitor center dedicated to the brand’s history is also located.
The anniversary announcement identifies Orange as the site of both the U.S. facility and the visitor center. It does not specify when anniversary celebrations are taking place, whether special events or exhibits are planned, or how the milestone will be marked.
The information provided also does not include details about the brand’s founding, the history of its manufacturing operations, or the visitor center’s offerings. No company representative, visitor center official or other source is quoted. The company’s name beyond the PEZ brand, and any anniversary-related plans, were not provided.
The milestone comes with a connection to a physical site in Connecticut: the facility is described as the company’s only U.S. manufacturing location, while the visitor center is dedicated to PEZ history. The information does not indicate whether the facility is open to visitors or whether tours are available.
For now, the confirmed details are limited to the anniversary and the Orange locations. Additional information about the celebration, the visitor center and the company’s history was not included in the announcement.
