Belgian lollipop manufacturer specializing in hard candy production for 90+ years, offering classic and functional lollipops with private label capabilities.

Cand'art is a family-owned Belgian confectionery company based in Bilzen, founded in 1930 as confiserie De Palm. The company specializes in the production of hard candy lollipops and has perfected this craft over more than nine decades. Since 1965, Cand'art has focused exclusively on hard sugarwork, transitioning from manual production on open fires to state-of-the-art automated manufacturing lines.

The company operates as a contract manufacturer and private label partner for numerous international clients, leveraging its flexible and efficient production processes. Cand'art maintains the highest food safety standards, holding IFS certification at Higher Level since 2004. The facility is allergen-free and produces specialty products including sugar-free, vegan, and Kosher-certified lollipops.

Cand'art offers extensive product customization capabilities, combining traditional confectionery expertise with modern automation. The company manufactures both classic lollipops and functional variants with added ingredients, serving diverse market segments. In 2015, Cand'art expanded through the acquisition of the Hirsch brand from Germany, further strengthening its market position.

Under the current ownership since 2021, the company continues to invest in automation and international growth through private label production and new product development, while preserving the artisanal character of candy-making.
