Our Best Plant Tours

In 2015, we toured five food and beverage packaging plants and created a short video at each one. We created a contest for our readers to watch them all and vote for their favorite. Thank you to everyone who participated! Here are the results of the poll:

Better Made — (36%)
GKI Foods — (53%)
McClure's — (6%)
Rochester Mills — (3%)
Valentine's Distilling — (2%)

We are happy to announce that GKI Foods is the winner of the contest, with 53% of the votes! I wonder if it was all of the chocolate that got everyone excited?
