For the ice cream company also known as Hershey’s, see Hershey Creamery Company. The Hershey Company, commonly known as Hershey’s, is an American multinational company and one of the largest chocolate manufacturers in the world. Hershey’s chocolate is available across the United States, and in over 60 countries worldwide. The Hershey Company has no affiliation to Hershey Creamery Company though both companies were founded in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, in the same year.

The companies have had a tumultuous relationship marked by multiple lawsuits over trademark issues. After an apprenticeship to a confectioner in 1873, Milton S. Hershey opened a candy shop in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. In 1896, Hershey built a milk-processing plant so he could create and refine a recipe for his milk chocolate candies. In 1899, he developed the Hershey process, which is less sensitive to milk quality than traditional methods. In 1900, he began manufacturing Hershey’s Milk Chocolate Bars, also known as Hershey’s Bars or Hershey Bars. In 1903, Hershey began construction of a chocolate plant in his hometown of Derry Church, Pennsylvania, later known as Hershey, Pennsylvania.
