CHESTER, IL- Gilster-Mary Lee Corp. registered a slight decrease in revenue in 2016 because strong competition forced its prices down, said Chairman, President and CEO Donald Welge.
Last year, the firm, which is majority owned by the Welge family and an employee profit sharing plan, experienced “a very continued competitive marketplace in food manufacturing,” Welge said.
The company, based in Chester, Illinois, makes private-label baking mixes, macaroni and cheese, ready-to-eat breakfast cereals, microwave popcorn, dehydrated potato products and hot cocoa mixes.
NOTE: There are a lot of people that work there from Franklin County, especially on the west side of the county. I spent 18 months, there in the 90’s in the Steeleville Pasta Plant. I found employment closer to home.
