Hearthside, a contract manufacturer of foods including nutrition and energy bars, snacks, cookies, crackers and more, moved Metzger up to the CEO slot from his position of chief operating officer.

Hearthside was ranked 45th on Food Processing’s Top 100 list this year, with $2.8 billion in food sales.
