DORVAL TRADING CELEBRATES ITS 50TH ANNIVERSARY!

January 2016, Nanuet, NYDORVAL TRADING CO., LTD. is proud to announce that this year, the company is celebrating its 50th year in business.  President Roberta Cappel says she has a tremendous sense of pride and accomplishment in reaching such a milestone. Roberta’s parents, Jack and Florence Cappel, founded the company in 1966. “My parents started out with a vision that was based on a strong commitment to bring quality products to consumers. We’ve maintained this commitment throughout our 50-year history. It is that vision as well as our integrity with respect to our customers, sales associates, and our manufacturer partners which has allowed us to not only endure, but also continue to grow as an organization.”

While the importing business can be challenging and competitive, Cappel stresses that they are very selective when it comes to choosing with whom they do business. “It never made sense to us to just partner with any manufacturer looking to get their foot in the door in the U.S. marketplace. We only establish relationships with those companies which we believe are reputable and offer only the highest quality products. We’re very proud of the relationships that we’ve formed and we look forward to many more productive and profitable years to come.”

DORVAL has its own line of products under the Sour Powerâ brand, which celebrated its 30th anniversary in 2015, as well as their specialty brand Dorval Premium Collection® Chocolates and Cocoa, plus Top Pops® and Choice Confections®. Other brands represented under the DORVAL umbrella include Rademaker® Hopjes, Rendez Vous®, and King®.

About Dorval Trading Co., Ltd.

Each 0.33oz (9.5g) pouch contains a unique combination of flavors, not individual ones. “We wanted to create an item that stood apart from similar items in the market,” states Roberta Cappel, President. “The fact that we combined our most popular flavors in single packs, and made it sour really puts SOUR POWER® SOUR POPPING CANDY on the map as a major player in the popping candy category.”

The pack designs are consistent with the bright and vivid colors consumers have come to know and expect in SOUR POWER®. They are packed in 12x18ct cartons, and make a great display for any shelf or counter. The new SOUR POWER® POPPING CANDY is available now.

Sour Power® has pucker power for 30 years!

January 2015, Nanuet, NY– Sour Power® has been The Original since 1985! The sour candy category was brand new when Dorval Trading Co., Ltd. introduced their first Sour Power® item, their unwrapped sour sanded straws in tubs.  It was at the 1985 ISM show in Germany that they first found the extruded licorice-type sanded straws. President Roberta Cappel says “There weren’t any sour products on the market at the time. We decided to be the first.”

And what a successful risk that was! At first, like with many new concepts, it took persistence plus sales & marketing ingenuity to help the item take off. But within a year of their first shipment, Sour Power® Straws exploded on the market. Soon after, Dorval began to build on the success of their initial offering by adding new flavors and formats regularly. The goal was to keep in touch with tastes and formats that appealed to all ages and to stay with the ever-changing trends that exist in the confectionery universe.

During Dorval’s almost 50 year history, they have maintained their vision of offering only very high-quality products and have certainly been most careful to do that during the 30 years of Sour Power®. “We tend to be perfectionists,” says Cappel, “only bringing products to market once we are confident the flavor profile is superb.”

From the very beginning with Sour Power® Straws in tubs, Dorval eventually extended the line to include Belts in Tubs, Belts in Bulk, Straws in Packages and Individually Wrapped Belts. And now, to coincide with the 30 year anniversary, Dorval has revamped the packaging on their original core flavors of Strawberry, Green Apple, Blue Raspberry and Watermelon Straw Packages. The new layout, graphics and overall appeal of the packaging modernizes the history of the brand, and makes the entire range of Straw Packages a cohesive, eye-catching family.

Also in 2014, Dorval re-launched their Sortz® Assorted Straw Packages which was reformulated for broader consumer appeal and is now the same 4-color, 4-flavor combination of the very popular Sour Power Quattro® Belts, with brighter colors.

Today, the Sour Power® range of flavors includes Strawberry, Green Apple, Blue Raspberry, Watermelon, Berry/Blue, Strawberry/Banana, Strawberry/Green Apple, Raspberry/Cherry, Quattro® 4 color/ flavor, Sortz® assorted, Pink Lemonade, Cotton Candy and Wild Cherry.

Since 1985, Sour Power® has been offering a variety of shapes, packages, and mouth-watering flavor varieties that people can’t seem to get enough of! Look for fun and exciting updates and things to come throughout 2015 as Dorval continues to celebrate this milestone of their Sour Power® brand.
