context_page_description: Marich Confectionery is a U.S.-based confectioner that was established in 1983 by Marinus van Dam, creator of the Jelly Belly brand of jelly beans.
  The company’s operations are located in Hollister, California. Marich is a privately-owned, second-generation company that manufactures chocolates and candies that are sold worldwide through retail, foodservice, wholesale, e-commerce, and emerging channels of distribution.
context_section_description: Marich uses the confectionery panning production method for many of its candy products.  The process coats layers of chocolate onto a flavorful center (nuts, caramels, dried fruit) using a revolving, hot-air-infused drum.  As the drum rotates, warm air is infused into the space where the centers are being tossed. This process ensures an even, intact distribution of chocolate coating.   Marich markets these panned chocolates under the term "Pancrafted".   
  Different manufacturing methods for non-chocolate, non-panned confections (e.g., jellies) are also used.
