Convenience Retailer Show Daily 1 7 Friday, October 21, 2016 DORVAL ANNOUNCES LATEST SOUR POWER POPPING CANDY SOUR POWER® SOUR POPPING CANDY is the newest innovation from the minds at SOUR POWER. The unique concept of combining mouth-watering flavors with a popping candy didn't just stop there. SOUR POWER created a blended pouch of SOUR popping candy, producing a combination of flavors such as Green Apple + Strawberry, Strawberry + Blue Raspberry and Sour Power Quattro®, a four color/four flavor blend- ed pouch. Each 0.33-ounce (9.5g) pouch con- tains a unique combination of flavors, not individual ones. "We wanted to create an item that stood apart from similar items in the market," states Roberta Cappel, President. "The fact that we combined our most popular flavors in single packs, and made it sour really puts SOUR POWER SOUR POPPING CANDY on the map as a major player in the popping candy category." The pack designs are consistent with the bright and vivid colors consumers have come to know and expect in SOUR POWER. They are packed in 12 by 18 count cartons, and make a great display for any shelf or counter. The new SOUR POWER POPPING CANDY is available now. Dorval was instrumental in launch- ing the sour craze in the United States in 1985 with SOUR POWER, and celebrat- ed its 30th brand anniversary in 2015. SOUR POWER SOUR POPPING CANDY joins the rest of the Straws and Belts in wrapped, unwrapped or bulk format in a variety of package types and flavors. About DORVAL TRADING CO., LTD.

QUALITY CANDY CONTINUES GROWTH WITH KING LEO, GILLIAM BRANDS Quality Candy Company is a leading manufacturer and distributor of both high-quality hard and soft sugar candy. In addition to being a leader in the food- service market, Quality Candy now markets three distinct lines of branded products: King Leo ® , the oldest contin- uously sold brand of peppermint candy, dating back to 1901; and Gilliam ® , a brand of colorful stick candy and high- quality hard candy dating back to 1927. The company now introduces its newest brand, Gilliam Organics, which was launched in January 2016. Combined, the three brands make Quality Candy a leading manufacturer of stick candy in North America. Quality Candy also pro- vides contract manufacturing services to leading marketers of both mass and niche product lines. Additionally, the company produces all-natural sugar candies and its plant is GFSI Compliant, with an SQF Level 2 Certification. Quality Candy manufactures and markets the King Leo brand, featuring soft peppermint in both puffs and sticks as well as in a variety of flavors, both in retail-friendly packs as well as bulk. Since 1901, King Leo, originally from Nashville, Tennessee, has been synony- mous with the word peppermint. The renowned soft peppermint sugar sticks are still made from the original recipe: pure King Leo peppermint oil, and old- fashioned care. This year, King Leo introduced ChocoMint Soft Sticks and Soft Puffs to its collection. These deli- cious peppermint and chocolate candies are made with the finest cocoa powder and are also available in both retail-friendly and bulk packaging. Commencing in 2009, King Leo crushed pep- permint bits became avail- able to the ingredient market and quickly established itself as a market leader. In 2003, Gilliam brand candy, estab- lished in Paducah, Kentucky in 1927, was added to the already impressive ros- ter of fine quality confections. Gilliam is a premier brand of old time nostalgic hard candy, and can be found across the United States. The Gilliam line features brilliantly colored, hand-striped artisanal candy sticks, as well as discs, lollipops and nostalgic sanded drops in old time flavors. Gilliam Organics makes its debut this year with Organic Lollysticks in exciting new Tropical and Very Berry fla- vors. Quality Candy, based in Henderson, Nevada, is a privately held business managed by its owner Laurie Redmond, Co-Chief Executive Officer and President. The manufacturing plant, which has just been expanded to accommo- date sales growth, oper- ates 24 hours a day. Now the 100,000-plus square foot factory is producing more than 20 million pounds of candy annually, maintaining vigilant attention to high food safety standards and quality assur- ance programs. Quality Candy Company, founded in 1986, has always maintained its commitment to quality manufacturing, superior ingredients, exceptional personnel and the ability to keep costs competitive. It is this combi- nation that has contributed to its fast paced growth and success over the past 30 years. For more information, call 702.565.4711 or go to www.qcandy.com.

TRAY & UTENSIL CLEANERS THAT BOOST YOUR BOTTOM LINE FROM MAINCA USA Mainca Manufacturing is known worldwide as a leading manufacturer of food processing equipment such as mixers, food choppers, fillers, ham- burger and meatball molders and other high quality meat and food processing equipment. From the 1971 introduction of the company's first meat saw to today's full line of the finest meat and food processing equipment on the mar- ket, Mainca has always taken the lead in product innovation, durability and value. "We are small enough to be respon- sive, yet have the support team and dis- tribution network that allows us the abil- ity to respond to the largest customer's needs," said company President Dale Schmidt. "We focus on quality at a com- petitive price and always put our cus- tomer's needs first." Mainca Manufacturing has distribu- tion in more than 60 countries, with Mainca USA Incorporated among the top two importers in the world. Founded in 2001, Mainca USA's office and ware- house are located in St. Louis, Missouri, and the company offers complete sales, service and distribution support from this centrally located facility. "Mainca USA currently has over 85 distributors throughout the United States and Canada, which makes us uniquely qualified to supply North America with the best equipment in the world," Schmidt said. "Our strategy has always been to offer extremely well built equipment with the local support provided by our dealer net- work. This program continues to work well for us." This year, Mainca USA has hired a new national sales manager, Jim Gallagher, to work more closely with both distributors and end-user customers and is introducing the JEROS line of Bakery Tray Cleaners and Utensil Washing Equipment. "Introducing a new line of equipment is always exiting, and with JEROS terrific repu- tation worldwide, we are very confident that the JEROS line will be a great success here with our customers as well," Schmidt said. "The JEROS Bakery Tray Cleaner will clean and condition solid or perforated bakery trays at speeds starting at 14 trays per minute. It is a tremendous labor saver. With the JEROS tray cleaner in your facility, you can also eliminate the need for parchment paper, reduce water con- sumption and increase the lifespan of your bakery trays." The JEROS line also includes the JEROS Utensil Washing System, which can clean everything from deli trays to machine parts, to mixing bowls and even 55 gallon containers. The JEROS Utensil Washer utilizes a unique clean- ing system that uses high pressure spray jets on a moving wash frame. Unlike other units on the market, the JEROS Utensil Washer blasts the dirty items from all four sides, not just the top and bottom. Anything that can fit into the JEROS Utensil Washer will be washed, rinsed and sanitized (with 184 degree hot water) in as little as two minutes using less than two gallons of water per cycle. "It's really an 'everything' washer," Schmidt said. "Our unique four sided wash frame is far superior to the spinning bar dishwashing machines in the market. "We have been in business for over 15 years and have installed thousands of pieces of equipment in the USA and Canada," he continued. "Contact any of our existing customers, and they will tell you that the Mainca USA company and the equipment we provide are always top notch."
