Indonesian confectionery manufacturer Inasentra Unisatya has made its first exports of Mr. Candy, the first non-gelatin chewy candy in Indonesia. 

Mr. Candy has been sold in South Korea since January in collaboration with E-Max Trading, an importer and distributor of confectionery in South Korea. E-Max sister company Winwin International is the local distributor.

Introduced in 2019, Mr. Candy is certified by the Vegan Society of Indonesia, and has been successful nation-wide.

"We hope to collaborate with South Korea for long-term business, and will provide our best innovative products," said Robin Setyono, Director, Inasentra Unisatya.

Mr. Candy comes in two flavours: ice cube flavour that contains peppermint, and frezzy bites which is a mix of peppermint and spearmint. Inasentra also has other Mr. Candy variants, including Mr. Candy C which has a high Vitamin C content.

Consumers in Korea can find Mr. Candy at traditional markets first, followed later by wider availability in places such as convenience stores, supermarkets, and drug stores.

Inasentra Unisatya makes candies with different textures as well as chocolate.
