This week, the city of Troy, Ohio, and the Troy Historical Society celebrated the 50th Scanniversary of the first scanned Universal Product Code (UPC). On June 26, 1974, a barcode was placed on a pack of Wrigley's Juicy Fruit gum and scanned at Marsh Supermarket. With the support of Hobart Food Equipment and Service's weighing and wrapping solutions, the store could also start scanning variable-weighted items like meats, fruits, and vegetables. This marked a pivotal moment in the digital world and revolutionized business operations.
The Troy Historical Society presented ITW Food Equipment Group with a Commendation at the dedication ceremony and unveiled a marker to celebrate this historic event. Jennifer Monnin, Vice President and General Manager of Hobart Food Machines, and other Hobart employees were there for the celebration and participated in unveiling the marker.
