About The Hershey Company

• Our company originated with candy-manufacturer
  Milton Hersheys decision in 1894 to produce
  sweet chocolate as a coating for his caramels.
  Located in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, he called his
  new enterprise the Hershey Chocolate Company. In
  1900, the company began producing milk chocolate
  in bars, wafers and other shapes. With
  mass-production, Hershey was able to lower the
  per-unit cost and make milk chocolate, once a
  luxury item for the wealthy, affordable to all.
  One early advertising slogan described this new
  product as a palatable confection and a most
  nourishing food.
• A company on the move.The immediate success of
  Hersheys low-cost, high-quality milk chocolate
  soon caused the companys owner to consider
  increasing his production facilities. He decided
  to build a new chocolate factory amid the gently
  rolling farmland of south-central Pennsylvania in
  Derry Township, where he had been born. Close to
  the ports of New York and Philadelphia which
  supplied the imported sugar and cocoa beans
  needed, surrounded by dairy farms that provided
  the milk required, and with a local labor supply
  of honest, hard-working people, the location was
  perfect. By the summer of 1905, the new factory
  was turning out delicious milk chocolate.
• A KISS for the whole world.Looking to expand its
  product line, the company in 1907 began producing
  a flat-bottomed, conical milk chocolate candy
  which Mr. Hershey decided to name HERSHEYS
  KISSES Chocolates. At first, they were
  individually wrapped in little squares of silver
  foil, but in 1921 machine wrapping was
  introduced. That technology was also used to add
  the familiar plume at the top to signify to
  consumers that this was a genuine HERSHEYS KISS
  Chocolate. In 1924, the company even had it
  trademarked.
