Russell Stover has two factories in Kansas, one in Texas, and one in Montrose, Colorado.
The purchase makes Lindt the number three chocolate manufacturer in North American, according to the announcement.

The price of the sale wasn't disclosed, but the Financial Times estimated the number to be around $1.4 billion dollars.
Russell Stover reports annual sales around $500 million dollars and employees about 2,700 people.
