摘要

Norwalk, CT-based Pepperidge Farm, Inc., part of Campbell Soup Company, is known for its premium-quality, fresh bakery and snack products, including its popular Goldfish crackers and Milano cookies, more than 50 varieties of fresh baked breads, layer cakes, garlic bread, and many other products. According to Statistica, the company's Goldfish product is the third largest cracker brand in the U.S., with projected sales of $479.9 million in 2016. In 2013, Pepperidge Farm broke ground on a $93 million expansion of its Willard, OH, plant that added 227,000 sq ft and additional production capacity to the facility. "The expansion was done to provide enough space to install two new high-speed Goldfish lines to support our demand for single-serve and retail-ready packaging," explains Pepperidge Farm Vice President, Supply Chain Bill Livingstone.
