ICYMI: Nassau Candy Acquires Island Natural

HICKSVILLE, NY — Hicksville's Nassau Candy has acquired certain assets of Island Natural, according to a release from Nassau Candy. The acquisition expands Nassau Candy's presence in the northeast while widening the company's range of products.

Island Natural, a natural product sales and distribution company, was founded in 1979. Their customer base includes grocers, supermarkets, natural food stores, gourmet stores, pharmacies, food co-ops and restaurants, the release says.

Island Natural's president and founder, Paul Burstyn, said in the release that the company will have a more robust online presence and a wider distribution network through Nassau Candy.

"Through these new channels, Island Natural customers will enjoy the products they’ve come to love, and also gain access to Nassau Candy’s extensive natural and gourmet product lines. We are also excited to bring our offerings to new customers," Burstyn said.

"The addition of health and beauty products will help to open new doors for Nassau Candy’s existing manufacturing presence in the health and beauty space, which includes lip balm, and other all-natural beauty products," the release says.

The release says the entire lines of Nassau Candy and Island Natural customers will be available through the Nassau Candy website.
