Joy Cone is a 100% employee-owned food production company headquartered in Hermitage, Pennsylvania. The company was founded in 1918 and has been honing their craft of cone baking since. With a legacy spanning over a century, Joy Cone produces one of the finest cones in the market. The company's commitment to delivering top-quality products, complemented by exceptional customer service, has propelled it to be one of the largest ice cream cone manufacturers in the United States. Currently, Joy Cone boasts an annual production capacity exceeding 2 billion cones to customers in the United States and Mexico. Their operating facilities in Arizona, Iowa, and Mexico allow Joy Cone to offer its complete product range, including cake cones, sugar cones, waffle cones, and waffle bowls. 

In 1992, Joy Cone became employee-owned when they implemented an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP). Joy Cone's robust ESOP rewards each eligible employee with shares upon reaching their first anniversary. Annually, employees are granted shares and receive valuation reports, thus enhancing their retirement packages and expanding in tandem with the company's growth. At Joy Cone, a steadfast commitment to personal attention and excellence fuels the transformation of a century of baking wisdom into a foundation for a bright future.
