The California Manufacturers & Technology Association (CMTA) has announced that Torani, a company known for its syrups and sauces, has joined the organization. Torani was founded in 1925 and is headquartered in San Leandro, California, where it operates manufacturing and distribution facilities totaling over 600,000 square feet.
“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 five syrup flavors and now offers more than 150 products worldwide. The company focuses on providing quality flavor options while supporting opportunities for advancement within its workforce.
“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 employs over 400 people at its San Leandro facility and reports a history of no layoffs during its century-long operation.
CMTA represents manufacturers throughout California and advocates for policies supporting industry growth. Manufacturing contributes about $300 billion annually to the state’s economy—approximately 10 percent of total economic output—and provides employment for around 1.3 million Californians with wages higher than those in other non-farm sectors.
Torani describes itself as a people-focused business dedicated to innovation in flavor products while maintaining independence as a Bay Area-based certified B Corp.
