Summary: Bob’s Candies, an Albany company founded by Bob McCormack in 1919, is the largest manufacturer of striped candy in the world. McCormack was the first manufacturer to wrap his candies in cellophane. Work was done by hand, and was consequently very slow, but that changed when Gregory Keller (great uncle to current president Gregory McCormack) invented two machines to mechanize the candy production. The inventions revolutionized the business and made Bobs Candies the first machine-manufactured candy. The McCormacks discuss the candy business today
