Our Goodyear, Arizona plant recently celebrated making history for 25 years and counting!
Congratulation to the Goodyear Team. I am still proud to be part of the first four years! Keep up the great work! Greg
Agreed the Goodyear Team has always set a great standard for others to follow and I was blessed to work with the team. I was provided some great opportunities and appreciate the leadership team, Greg, Pat, Jim, Mike and others who supported and mentored me along the way.
Yes! I forgot Jim Butt’s role in the startup! He moved to Goodyear for at least a year and was instrumental in the startup! Also John Burke and his team of sales leaders developed the market in the west, justifying the need for a pretzel plant in the west! NOTHING happens until someone sells something!!
Congratulations on celebrating 25 years of making history at the Snyder’s plant in Goodyear, Arizona! Your dedication and hard work have been instrumental in achieving this incredible milestone. Here's to many more years of success and excellence!
My Congratulations also. I was involved with the entire management group when we opened the Goodyear plant. Jim Butt, Pat McInerney and Greg Maderitz did a phenomenal job of getting that plant up and running and making quality products…Great job and keep up the great work
Awesome group of people in those early years that lead the way to celebrating 25 years. It was great to watch it all take place from back here in PA except 1 trip out there weeks after 9/11 in 2001. Congratulations!
Love the pretzels!!
Congratulations!!
Congrats Goodyear!

1moIt’s hard to believe! I remember meeting with the architect and construction manager ONLY as guests of Pat McInerney, who led the negotiations and design, and future plant manager, Greg Maderitz, who built an amazing team of leaders and associates with limited food production experience! As I recall, the startup was fast and efficient and packing product soon thereafter. I remember Greg, John Evangelisti and Wade Malmburg moving on to bigger assignments after their time in Goodyear! 25 years. Hard to believe! Congratulations! Don’t try a jalapeño pepper from the pepper fields Nextdoor belonging to the “Kick AXX Sausa Company!” Scovill units in the hundreds of thousands!! A dare…and I couldn’t get enough water fast enough! Best wishes to all those who made and are still making Goodyear a successful operation. Mike Warehime would be very proud!
