The Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development (DCED) is supporting the project with a $95,000 Pennsylvania First grant and a $50,000 workforce development grant for worker training. 95 new jobs will be created as a result of the project.
“Wolfgang is renowned in York County and across the United States and is a major contributor to Pennsylvania’s historic food and confectionery manufacturing reputation,” Gov. Wolf said in a statement. “This expansion is a major win – supporting increased production for Wolfgang customers everywhere and bringing almost 100 new manufacturing jobs to York County communities.”
Wolfgang Confectioners was founded in York, PA in 1921 as the D.E. Wolfgang Candy Co.
