Although a national, downward trend in sales is happening in many sectors, Hanan Products, a 75-year-old, third-generation wholesaler in the whipped topping, icing and dessert-filling sector—and the original creator of Tasty Whip—has seen an increase in sales.
As business has increased, so has the potential stress on employees who take on the heavy physical labor at their facility. Some of the boxes full of product are as heavy as 40 lbs., which takes a toll on workers and slows the process. Even for those employees who are comfortable performing the task, it’s physically exhausting work, and Hanan reports that the burden was only getting more difficult and time consuming.
