The A. L. Bazzini Co., commonly known as Bazzini, is a manufacturer and distributor of nut, dried fruit and chocolate confections based in Allentown, Pennsylvania. The snack firm signed a long-term lease for just under 130,000 square feet of warehouse space at 860 Nestle Way in Breinigsville, Pennsylvania, to expand its operations.
Founded in New York City in 1886, Bazzini is one of the oldest nut companies in the U.S. It has long supplied major event venues in New York with its nuts, such as Madison Square Garden and Yankee Stadium, as well as distributed its products through grocery and convenience stores. The firm has had a major presence in Allentown since 2011 when relocated its nut-roasting operations there. That same year it acquired Barton's Candy Co., a chocolatier and candy maker founded in 1940.
The firm's new space is within the 607,320-square-foot Lehigh Valley West Building Park owned by Prologis and located within one of the Lehigh Valley’s Foreign Trade Zones, enabling importers to achieve greater supply chain efficiencies and cost savings. Bazzini is expected to take occupancy this summer.
