Best known for the iconic status of PEEPS®, the yellow, chick-shaped marshmallow confection, Just Born Confection Connection found its sweet spot through the use of innovation. In fact, its founder was the first to use technology to produce the chocolate sprinkles known as Jimmies, the hard coating for ice cream bars and a machine to mechanically insert sticks into lollipops. So when the 87-year-old family-owned business went looking for a construction partner that could effectively collaborate with a global logistics group to create innovative solutions for its growing distribution needs, they chose Ondra-Huyett.

Our teams of commercial construction managers and builders partnered with Just Born’s global logistics company at Just Born’s Lehigh Valley location to create a central storage and distribution point for all Just Born products. In addition to interior and exterior renovations to accommodate value-added warehousing, distribution, and transportation management services, we incorporated environmentally responsible materials ranging from FSE certified woods to low VOC caulk and paint, and insisted on the responsible management of construction site waste.
