The Hershey Co. is committing $1 million to acquire, install, and staff a new manufacturing line dedicated to the production of facemasks. The new line will be capable of producing up to 45,000 masks per day and will become operational near the end of May.
“Disposable masks will be an integral piece of protecting the health and safety of our employees, their families, and our community as we move forward over the weeks and months ahead,” said Jason Reiman, chief supply chain officer at Hershey, in a statement. “Changing how we work, and adding this capability is a testament to the adaptability of our team, and our desire to make a difference.”
