Located in Honey Brook, Pennsylvania, Good Food, Inc. was founded in 1980 by seasoned entrepreneurs who were looking to expand their family business, Zook Molasses Company. Zook Molasses was founded in 1934, and the original business model entailed molasses blending to produce cooking and baking supplies sold under the Golden Barrel label. Over time, the company\u2019s success led to 200 more various blends of liquid sweeteners and syrups packed in retail, food service, and bulk tanker loads. Due to their expanding business and ongoing success, Good Foods has increased their total liquid storage to a staggering 153,000 gallons (38 truck loads). Their Honey Brook facility has approximately 260,000 square feet of production and warehouse space and includes 17 liquid blenders and three inline machines for syrups.<\/p>\n
Since the company was founded more than 80 years ago, their operation has changed drastically. On a daily basis, workers manufacture around 1,250 boxes of food product, which are shipped out to various locations on large pallets. Each pallet contains between 45 and 50 boxes, and workers in the shipping department are tasked with loading around 25 pallets each day. This process was completed manually for more than 70 years, but as business expanded, so too did the need for a better lifting process.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":1584,"parent":0,"template":"","class_list":["post-1583","case_study","type-case_study","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
