Bringing Families Closer Together by Creating Memories Worth Repeating

The Hershey Company is a global leader in confectionery and snacking, founded in 1894 by Milton S. Hershey. Headquartered in Hershey, Pennsylvania, the company has a rich history that began with the Lancaster Caramel Company before transitioning to chocolate. Hershey's Milk Chocolate bars were introduced in 1900, and the company has since expanded its offerings to include over 70 brands, such as Reese's, York Peppermint Patties, and Twizzlers, along with non-chocolate snacks like Ice Breakers and SkinnyPop. With more than 16,000 employees worldwide, The Hershey Company emphasizes "moments of goodness" and "commerce with compassion." It operates retail experiences like Hershey's Chocolate World and focuses on global expansion, including the acquisition of Nacional de Dulces in Mexico. The company is committed to sustainable practices and philanthropy, supporting initiatives like the Milton Hershey School trust, which reflects Hershey's legacy of community care and employee well-being.
