The Hershey Company is a global confectionery leader that manufactures and distributes chocolate, sweets, mints, and salty snacks under more than 85 brands to customers in approximately 65 countries. It operates through three segments: North America Confectionery (producing chocolate and non-chocolate confectionery, including iconic brands like Hershey's, Reese's, Kisses, Twizzlers, and Kit Kat), North America Salty Snacks (ready-to-eat popcorn, pretzels, and baked snacks), and International operations primarily serving Latin America, Asia, and other export markets. The company generates revenue by selling through wholesale distributors, grocery chains, mass merchandisers, and other retail channels, and manages profitability by adjusting prices and product weights to offset fluctuations in raw material costs such as cocoa, sugar, dairy, and energy.
