Bethlehem, Pa.-based Just Born Quality Confections has appointed five independent members to join existing members Ross Born and David Shaffer on its board of directors.
Nonetheless, Today's Jeff Rosen ―who leads us to believe he’s quite a candy lover ―goes on a movie house shopping spree in the segment, purchasing Nestlé and Just Born products. He then returns to the studio and carefully stands up the boxes, cutting open a flap in each one to show the amount of white space there is before one sees actual candy.
The employees, represented by the Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco Workers and Grain Millers International Union Local 6 (BCTWGM), have been working under contract terms that expired in June. Wages, health insurance and pensions are among employees’ concerns.
Just Born Quality Confections and Cémoi Inc. New York, a subsidiary of CEMOI Group of Perpignan, France, are partnering to expand the French chocolate products to the United States.
Candy makers David Shaffer and Ross Born talk about expanding the iconic PEEPS brand, refreshing the MIKE AND IKE brand and updating their manufacturing facility in Bethlehem, Pa.
