In 1942, the year the war started, Black Diamonds almost didn't come through, so after a long successful career, Albert Sr. passes on the company to Albert Jr. who adds the Coal Dust and Mornin' Break. In 1976, he passes it onto Albert III. Present In 2008, Albert III passes it down to his younger daugter, Marybeth, who adds GEMS and White out. Then, in 2020, Marybeth Taglieri and Andrew Moul co-own the company for a bright candymaking future!
