“We’ve found our customers wanted a one-stop-shop where they can purchase and combine items from all our brands, which was the inspiration for the new web site,” said Lance Stier, CEO of NC Custom, the promotional products arm of Nassau Candy, the parent company of the Chocolate Inn, Lanco, and ACE brands. “We brought together all of these items under a common design element, as we have done with success in the retail markets.  This new design along with improved searchability and enhanced sales tools for our distributors, all to help round out the customer experience and drive sales.”
