The Hershey Company
Overview
The Hershey Company is a prominent American chocolate and confectionery manufacturer with a rich history dating back to the 1880s. Originally founded by Milton S. Hershey as the Lancaster Caramel Company, it shifted to chocolate production in 1894 and became recognized for pioneering the mass production of affordable milk chocolate, using an innovative processing method that made high-quality chocolate accessible to many.
The company's diverse product lineup includes well-known brands such as Hershey’s Milk Chocolate bars, Hershey’s Kisses, Mr. Goodbar, Krackel, Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, MOUNDS, and HEATH Toffee Bars, enjoyed by consumers worldwide. Hershey maintains a legacy of community involvement through initiatives such as the Milton Hershey School and by investing in local entertainment and cultural venues. Its vision encompasses not only product excellence but also the development and support of its surrounding community.
