Impact Confections Expands Janesville, Wisconsin, Manufacturing Operations

10/19/2025
Confectionery company Impact Confections plans to expand its operations in Janesville, Wisconsin.

The $12 million project will include the modernization of equipment at the company’s existing manufacturing facility.

“We are grateful to WEDC and to Gov. Evers for this support. Each upgrade strengthens our capabilities, improves quality, and creates a more productive environment for our Janesville team to work in,” said CEO of KUA and Impact Confections Raul Peláez.

To support the project the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation (WEDC) will provide up to $215,000 in performance-based state tax credits, contingent upon capital investment and employment.

“With this new addition, Impact Confections and KUA will not only produce better quality candy, decrease downtime, and increase efficiency, but also set new standards for automation and long-term growth in Wisconsin,” noted Governor Tony Evers. “This announcement is another positive addition in a long list of examples of the incredible opportunities we have here in Wisconsin for international companies to grow and thrive. I want to thank the team at Impact Confections and KUA for their commitment to Wisconsin and congratulate them on their continued success.”

Impact Confections produces a wide variety of candies, including sour hard and chewy candies, marshmallows, and chocolate-covered treats. In addition to its own brands, Impact Confections also provides contract manufacturing services for other companies.
