Milton Hershey’s love for confection started at a young age and flourished when he established The Hershey Chocolate Company in 1894. By 1900, we sold our very first candy bar. Today, our portfolio of brands has expanded beyond the beloved and iconic HERSHEY’S Milk Chocolate Bar.

Our beloved and indulgent candy brands including HERSHEY’S, REESE’S, TWIZZLERS and ICE BREAKERS are joined by a growing family of sweet and salty combinations and better-for-you options like SKINNYPOP and PIRATES BOOTY to offer choices in the places and spaces where people shop and snack.

The remarkable people at The Hershey Company are driven by our purpose of making more moments of goodness with our beloved brands for people around the world.

Milton Hershey made his mark as a successful confectioner, philanthropist and innovator. But Milton was by no means an overnight success story, nor did his achievements come without their hardships. In fact, his first two candy companies were met with failure.

Milton S. Hershey left us with a legacy of goodness—a legacy that lives on today in each of our employees around the world.
