KUALA LUMPUR, May 13 (Bernama) -- The Hershey Company (Hershey) has officially launched a new research and development (R&D) centre in Johor, Malaysia, making it one of Hershey’s largest R&D facilities outside of the United States.
Hershey said the investment is a core part of the company’s strategy to drive international growth through innovation. “The new facility will enable Hershey to quickly develop, test, and launch new products customised to the tastes of consumers across the region,” the company said in a statement today.
