Our Story

From Sweet Treats to Wellness Innovations

At Candico (India) Ltd., our story is rooted in a legacy of flavour, science and trust. Since 1997, we have been creating memorable confectionery experiences for India and the world but what began as a confectionery journey has evolved into something far bigger: a commitment to wellness, innovation and impact.

Over time, we built the capabilities, systems, and scale to support not just consumer delight, but regulatory-grade precision. This evolution led us into the pharmaceutical space, where we became a trusted manufacturing partner for Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) products. Today, our NRT facility stands as the largest of its kind in India, engineered to meet the exacting standards of GMP and FDA compliance.

As wellness redefines the future of food and health, Candico is once again ahead of the curve. With deep expertise in chewable delivery formats — from gums and lozenges to soft chews and tablets — we are now investing in the next frontier: nutraceuticals. offering consumers with meaningful alternatives that support immunity, energy, sleep, digestion, memory and more, without compromising on palatability or convenience.

What sets Candico apart is our integrated approach. Our facility spans 200,000 sq. ft. across 10 acres, housing everything from gum base development and flavour labs to automated packaging and stability chambers — all under one roof. For our clients, this means a streamlined journey from concept to market, supported by robust infrastructure, R&D insight, and regulatory clarity.

Today, we work with India’s most respected pharmaceutical and wellness companies, as well as global brands looking for trusted, scalable, and compliant manufacturing partners. Whether developing nicotine gums or clean-label functional chews, they choose Candico not just for our legacy — but for our ability to evolve with precision, purpose, and partnership.

From crafting sweet moments to enabling smarter health choices, our story continues — rooted in trust, driven by innovation, and shaped by a vision to make wellness accessible.
