[edit] History
The Henry Heide Candy Company was founded in 1869 by Henry Heide, an immigrant from Obermarsberg, Westphalia, Germany.
On December 13, 1931, Henry Heide died in New York City. Henry's son, Andrew, began running the business and became the company's fourth president in 1957. He moved the production facility from Hudson Street in New York City to New Brunswick. Andrew died on December 23, 1995. Andrew's son Philip joined the Henry Heide Co. in 1964, rising through the ranks from sales manager/bakery and marketing and merchandising manager to executive vice-president.
Philip sold Henry Heide, Inc., to Hershey Foods Corporation in 1995. In 2002, Farley's & Sathers Candy Co., Inc. acquired the Heide brand products, including Jujyfruits, from Hershey Foods. The terms of the deal were not disclosed.
