Our Intern-to-Full-Time Employee Highlight of the Week is Andy Paurus!
Andy serves as the Continuous Improvement Manager at Kenny’s Candy & Confections. He started as an intern 25 years ago, working in maintenance, and was hired into a full-time maintenance role just three months later.
Andy has had a “heck of a ride” at KLN. He first started at Barrel O’ Fun and later went to school for automation. His internship position and current role are on opposite ends of the spectrum. Andy also spent three and a half years in Phoenix, AZ, where he helped build a Barrel O’ Fun plant and learned a great deal in the process.
One day, Andy was greeted by Kenny with a simple message: “Charlie’s office. 6 AM.” After that, Andy took charge of running the Perham plant, eventually becoming the maintenance supervisor and later the maintenance manager. He also spent time in Pennsylvania revamping the Waterford factory and traveled to Delano to help get a plant up and running before returning to Kenny’s.
Although Andy has held many different roles, the construction side of the business has always had his heart.
Shoutout to Andy for missing only one day of work in 25 years! ... See MoreSee Less

Our Intern-to-Full-Time Employee Highlight of the Week is Ethan Bollman!
Ethan works as an IT Technician at KLN Family Brands. He gave his summer presentation about his internship on a Friday and returned the following Monday as a full-time team member!
Some of Ethan's favorite moments from his internship included walking the production floor and seeing the final products he helped create. He also attended a volunteer opportunity at Music on the Mountain, where he met Emma Severson, another KLN intern. He and Emma are now engaged and both full-time KLN employees!
Ethan is forever grateful for how friendly and welcoming everyone from all departments at KLN Family Brands has been since day one.
We are extremely happy to have both Ethan and Emma on board! ... See MoreSee Less
