Family-owned since 1924, Hanover Foods Corporation grew from Harry Virgil Warehime’s Hanover Canning Company into a Pennsylvania food manufacturer rooted in relationships with farmers. Today, it preserves that agricultural connection through its work with family farms in the United States and Guatemala while supplying food products for retail, food-service, and industrial customers.
