North American pallet shortage to last for a longer period

It takes a lot of ingredients to operate three shifts of employees at the plant. Steve Brubaker, Vice President Supply Chain, ticks off the statistics: “One million pounds of flour (from local millers) a week arrive at the plant and 25 to 30 trucks a day carrying crackers and cookies leave” to be distributed nationally, with “the mid-Atlantic area the strongest market.”
Carrie Kline is a 35-year Stauffer’s employee who started as a cookie packer and is now Materials Manager of Ingredients. She is also a collector of Stauffer’s memorabilia. Carrie’s collection includes wooden boxes and tins “and two pretty big items I have: two baseball uniforms” with the name NIFTY on them (an early name for some Stauffer’s products) that date to around World War II and the manufacturers’ league in York.
