PEZ is marking its 100th anniversary, with its only U.S. manufacturing facility and visitor center located in Orange, Connecticut. The visitor center details the brand’s history, tracing its story from Austrian origins to its presence in the United States.
The anniversary marks a century for the candy and dispenser brand. The information provided does not specify the date or circumstances of PEZ’s founding, or when the company established its U.S. presence. It also does not describe any anniversary events, new products or changes to the company’s operations.
PEZ’s Orange site combines manufacturing with a visitor center, according to the summary. No further details were provided about the facility’s production, the visitor center’s exhibits or its operating arrangements.
