Blommer Chocolate is a fully integrated chocolate and cocoa manufacturer serving customers around the world. The company was founded in 1939 in Chicago, Illinois by Henry Blommer, Sr., along with his brothers Al and Bernard.

By 1948, the business warranted further expansion. They branched out nationally with the addition of Blommer Chocolate Factory of California in Los Angeles. In 1952, Blommer purchased the common stock of Boldemann Chocolate of San Francisco. Both the southern California and San Francisco operations were consolidated in 1970 when a new facility was built in Union City, California. We expanded once again to meet the demands of increasing business when we built a new plant in East Greenville, Pa in 1980 and again this year when we added 85,000 square feet to our East Greenville facility. The company’s three factories are located strategically across the United States giving us the unique ability to respond quickly to our customers’ needs.

Today, the business is still family run and has grown to become one of the largest chocolate manufacturers in North America. With four generations of chocolate makers behind us, Blommer offers continuity in this climate of competition and consolidation.

The factory is responsible for the delicious fragrance of chocolate that often wafts for many blocks in all directions in the downtown area.
