Our Sweet Journey: The Story of LeChao Candy

The story of LeChao Candy began in 1982, when three Yang brothers started crafting soft candies in a small family workshop. With simple equipment and sincere passion, they boiled sweetness into every batch of products.

In 1991, this spirit of craftsmanship officially transformed into LeChao Food Co., Ltd. Operating out of a 400-square-meter rented space, we began our journey as a start-up candy factory, with a big dream.

In 1996, we built our first manufacturing facility, covering 4,000 square meters, marking a new step toward standardized production. By 2000, our second and primary facility was established, spanning 27,000 square meters, becoming the core of our production and office operations.

Around this time, we also began to engage in trade and export business, marking LeChao’s first steps onto the global stage. From there, the LeChao brand quickly expanded its reach across both domestic and international markets.

With growth came transformation—in 2016, we fully rebuilt and upgraded the first factory, expanding its area to 32,000 square meters and equipping it with modern technology and advanced production standards.

During this period, as our trade activities expanded into more international markets, we continued to strengthen our compliance and quality systems and food safety certifications, ensuring our products meet the diverse regulatory standards of different countries.

Then in 2024, we took a bold leap forward: three new factories were constructed, totaling 74,000 square meters. It signals the beginning of a new era for LeChao—more efficient, intelligent, and globally connected.

As we move into the future, LeChao Candy remains committed to its original mission—bringing sweetness to people’s lives. With expanding global presence, upgraded production capabilities, and an unwavering focus on quality and innovation, we are ready to embrace new opportunities and challenges.
