That Chips Ahoy! cookie you’re munching was made in Henrico

Made in Henrico: A Look Inside the County’s Manufacturing Sector,  is a recent Henrico County Television program produced by Ryan Eubank. You can watch the video here. In the video you’ll learn that Henrico has more than a land of suburban homes and a large mall.

There is some serious manufacturing muscle in Henrico. Including but not limited to ChapStick lip balm, Chips Ahoy! cookies and Robitussin cough syrup.

Henrico Citizen has more details:

Other Henrico companies produce items such as margarine, dog treats, dry shampoo, snack foods and beer.

“This is a behind-the-scenes glimpse into the people and technology responsible for those products,” said Eubank. “The idea for the program was brought to us by Felicia Ainsa at the Henrico EDA [Economic Development Authority]. We’ve delved into manufacturing briefly in a variety of other documentaries, but this is the first one solely focused on the topic.”
