Did you know that Reno is home to a thriving state-of-the-art candy production facility boasting a customer base stretching from coast to coast and more than eight international countries?  That chocolate confection company is Kimmie Candy. 

The driving force behind Kimmie Candy is Joe Dutra and his 43 employee team.  With humble beginnings in farming, agricultural consulting, and the international seed business, Joe redirected his efforts in the year 2000 to serve an untapped market for “Made in America” panned, chocolate confections.  With the creation of nationally branded Sunbursts®, ChocoRocks®, and new protein-infused candies, Joe’s instincts were proven correct.

NCET Tech Wednesday, January 12, is your opportunity to learn more about U.S award-winning Kimmie Candy and its scrumptious confections.  Here is what you will see and hear:

  • Kimmie Candy’s newly remodeled retail and tour area

  • A factory tour and see how the candy is made and packaged

  • Hear more about how Kimmie Candy started

  • Visit the candy tasting bar stocked with new products to satisfy any sweet tooth!

  • Videos on the panning process central to Kimmie Candy’s production process
