"We have a great story that illustrates our relationship with BNB. When we gave Kevin O’Connor (BNB President and CEO) and Kevin Santacroce (Chief Lending Officer) a tour of our plant, they were excited about the research and development segment of our business. They even designed a new donut, a jelly-filled sugar braid with chocolate drizzle, which is currently on sale at our retail store located at the plant."
"We made the switch to BNB in 1994 because we had a great relationship with Tom Tobin who was the BNB CEO at the time. Very strong relationships run across the management of both our organizations. Both firms enjoy easy access to each other’s senior leaders. Because of this relationship, all of our transactions are done quickly and efficiently."
