Eaton, OH — Henny Penny Corporation has been named both Equipment Supplier of the Year and Supplier of the Year by the KFC organization in recognition of recently introduced holding cabinet technology and overall excellence in service and partnership. The awards were announced in May at KFC’s headquarters in Louisville, Ky., during the company’s “Star” achievement awards ceremony.


A commercial foodservice equipment designer and manufacturer, Henny Penny earned the award for its commitment to quality products and for working with KFC to drive innovative solutions integral to the success of their business.
