Big Bear Confectionery

Valeo Foods will close Big Bear Confectionery's facility in Leicester, England, in December 2019, as production moves to the expanded York site.

Valeo Foods is investing £7.5m to expand its Tangerine Confectionery site in York, UK, adding two production lines to increase capacity by 30% and create 90 jobs. The expansion will accommodate production of Fox's Glacier Mints and Poppets from the soon-to-close Leicester facility.
