Great brands

We have great brands to work on and everyone has heard of them. We get to create candy, mints and gum that consumers love—and we have fun in the process. How sweet is that!

Company parties & picnics

We have fun not only with the products we create and with our team members here at Perfetti Van Melle, but also during the many activities we enjoy together outside of our headquarters. Each year, we get together at an area theme park for our summer picnic. The winter holiday season is always celebrated with an employee party. And of course, there’s nothing more fun than Halloween when you work for such an innovative candy company.

Giving back, together

Here at Perfetti van Melle, we believe in giving back to the Greater Cincinnati / Northern Kentucky community in which we work. Each year, we hold a Community Day. Together, we volunteer to provide a meaningful lift to local non for profits that serve kids and families.

Not just a company

Because of the fun we have with our products and the togetherness we share during our parties and celebrations, as well as the volunteering in which we share, it’s quite common to hear employees say simply, “Perfetti Van Melle is not just a company. It’s a family.”

We are focused on our purpose: Innovative Treats. Better Future.

Our consumers are always seeking new experiences and concepts. That’s why we’re constantly striving to surprise and delight them with new products, new flavors, new packaging and new product concepts that will help them enjoy “sweeter” moments in their lives.
