About The Hershey Company

The Hershey Company is the leading confectionery manufacturer in the US, controlling approximately 35% of the domestic chocolate market. Its portfolio of over 100 iconic brands—including Reese's, Kit Kat, Kisses, and Ice Breakers—generates sales across approximately 80 countries, though the business remains predominantly US-focused. To expand beyond core confectionery, Hershey has strategically acquired adjacent snacking brands including Amplify (Skinny Pop), Pirate Brands, Dot's Pretzels, and LesserEvil.
