Astor Chocolate Welcomes Charles Duggan II, MAS
“When I learned about the open position at Astor, I was immediately intrigued because of the company’s reputation in the promotional products industry and beyond for producing such high-quality chocolate,” Duggan said. “But what impressed me most about Astor is its corporate responsibility; it has one of the largest solar energy farms in New Jersey that produces 75 percent of the manufacturing facility’s annual power needs. Additionally, the by-product from the turbines is hot water, which is then recycled to heat and cool the factory. Astor also is a union shop and has a commitment to social accountability. These principles of responsibility truly align with my values. Combine this with a product that everyone loves, and it was an ideal fit. I look forward to growing the company’s sales and building its reputation throughout the promotional products industry.”
