The California Manufacturers & Technology Association (CMTA) has announced that Torani, a well-known flavor company, has joined its membership. Torani, established in 1925, produces a wide variety of syrups and sauces and operates from its headquarters in San Leandro, California. The company’s facilities now span over 600,000 square feet for manufacturing and distribution.
“We are thrilled to welcome Torani to CMTA,” said Lance Hastings, President & CEO of CMTA. “Torani is an iconic California brand that exemplifies the innovation, quality, and commitment to growth that define our state’s manufacturing community. We look forward to working with them to foster growth and opportunity for manufacturers across the state.”
Torani began with just five syrup flavors but has expanded its offerings to more than 150 products sold worldwide. The company focuses on flavor innovation and aims to provide opportunities for people within the industry.
“As a 100-year-old California company that makes things, we know how much good manufacturing jobs matter to our communities,” said Melanie Dulbecco, CEO of Torani. “We’re excited to join others who share that same passion and commitment.”
Torani currently employs over 400 people at its San Leandro location and reports having never laid off any employees throughout its century-long history.
The CMTA represents manufacturers in California by advocating for laws and regulations supporting industry growth. Manufacturing contributes $300 billion annually to California’s economy—about 10 percent of the state’s total economic output—and provides employment for approximately 1.3 million residents.
Torani remains privately owned and operates as a certified B Corp, maintaining a focus on social responsibility while continuing its expansion in the global flavor market.
