EVOLUTION
of Snacking
As the snack industry grows and changes, consumers are gobbling up a variety of treats.
" The automation that has come in has been fantastic,
by Michelle Smith
W
When James Herr started his business in 1946, he sold
potato chips at a local market in Lancaster, Pa. But that
wasn't the only way he found to get his snacks in the
hands of potential customers. He would place free 3-lb
tins of chips on doorsteps with a note telling people that
if they liked them, they simply needed to return the tin,
pay the fee, and another tin would be delivered.
" Back in the 1940s, you didn't have all these supermarket
chains, " said Ed Herr, James Herr's son and current
chairman and chief executive officer of Herr Foods
Inc., Nottingham, Pa. " Back then, it was more momand-pop
stores. "
Things have changed a lot at Herr's in the 76 years
since that humble beginning. Indeed, automation,
packaging, distribution, ingredients and so much more
- including snackers and their habits - have all had
a hand in transforming the snack industry into the vibrant,
multifaceted powerhouse it is today. As Sosland
Publishing, the parent company of Baking & Snack, celebrates
100 years in business, we are taking a closer look
to see what's gone before and what's next.
Managing dramatic changes
Many automation innovations have been developed for
snack makers over the past century, including many
pieces of machinery that have only become faster and
more efficient through the years. This list includes
equipment bagging salty snacks like chips and pretzels.

and the systems and controls have been amazing, " said
Barry Levin, CEO of Snak King Corp., City of Industry,
Calif. " When I first started, we had volumetric fillers.
Then we had bulk and dribble feeders going into a
single scale. Today we have combination weighers that
are significantly faster and more accurate. The tools we
have today are remarkable to help us make good products
consistently. "
The equipment has come a long way for pretzels, too,
said Justin Spannuth, vice president and chief operating
officer at Unique Snacks, Reading, Pa.
