Mafco Worldwide Corporation produces a variety of licorice products from licorice root, intermediary licorice extracts produced by others and certain other ingredients at its facilities in Camden, New Jersey; Richmond, Virginia; and Gardanne, France; and at the facilities of its joint ventures in Zhangjiagang, Jiangsu and Weihai, Shandong, People’s Republic of China. Approximately 73% of Mafco Worldwide’s licorice product sales are to the worldwide tobacco industry for use as tobacco masking and moistening agents in the manufacture of American blend cigarettes, moist snuff, chewing tobacco and pipe tobacco. While licorice represents a small percentage of the total cost of manufacturing American blend cigarettes and other tobacco products, the particular formulation and quantity used by each brand is an important element in the brand’s quality.

Mafco Worldwide also sells licorice worldwide to confectioners, food processors, cosmetic companies and pharmaceutical manufacturers for use as flavoring and masking agents, including its Magnasweet® brand flavor enhancer, which is used in various brands of chewing gum, lip balm, energy bars, non-carbonated beverages, chewable vitamins, aspirin and other products.

Mafco Worldwide also sells licorice root residue as garden mulch under the name Right Dress®.

Mafco Worldwide has achieved its position as the world’s leading manufacturer of licorice products through its experience in obtaining licorice root, its technical expertise at maintaining the consistency and quality of its product and its ability to develop and manufacture proprietary formulations for individual customers and applications.
