The Natural Confectionery Co. sweets

The Natural Confectionery Co. (TNCC) is a renowned brand specializing in gummies and jelly sweets, marketed for their use of natural colours and flavours. The brand was originally established in Australia in 1941 by Julius Lighton and his family through their company, Sunrise Confectioners. Over the decades, it gained international popularity for its playful shapes and commitment to excluding artificial ingredients.

In the early 2000s, the brand was acquired by Cadbury Schweppes, which helped expand its presence throughout the United Kingdom, Ireland, and other global markets. Following the demerger of Cadbury and the subsequent acquisition of Cadbury by Mondelez International (formerly Kraft Foods), the brand became part of one of the world's largest snacks companies.

Today, products are manufactured in multiple locations including Australia, the United Kingdom, and Europe to serve different regional markets. The brand is ultimately owned by Mondelez International, a global powerhouse in the food and beverage industry headquartered in Chicago, Illinois. In the UK and Ireland, the brand is managed through local subsidiaries such as Mondelez UK and Mondelez Ireland.
