Hershey Supplier of the Year
Wolfgang Confectioners helped Hershey launch a new product line by installing two new lines from a previously untried equipment manufacturer. Within 6 months of the project sign-off, Wolfgang took immediate action to convert their warehouse into the necessary food-grade production space for the lines with a nearly flawless start-up, reaching 100% attainment in the first week.
