Fluff is a unique marshmallow
crème of the finest quality. Its unusual
light and fluffy texture makes it ideal as a
sandwich spread topping or recipe ingredient.
Fluff has no artificial
preservatives and is made by a special batch
process. The ingredients are whipped together
by large mix masters, similar to smaller
electric beaters found in most kitchens. This
beating process makes Marshmallow Fluff light,
fluffy and delicious!
Packed in 7.5 oz. jars, 12 jars
per case, the product is manufactured by the
Durkee Mower Company in its facility in Lynn,
Massachusetts. Despite one or two competitors
and an occasional private label in the
business, the Durkee Mower Company has
produced Marshmallow Fluff for a fiercely
loyal customer base for close to ninety years
and counting! Over those years, the Durkee
Mower Company and its management has prided
itself on i ts
ability to produce the same quality and taste
that customers have enjoyed - since 1920! The
Company as well as the product has been
featured in daily newspapers from the Boston
Globe and Herald to national magazines such as
Time and Newsweek for its ability to maintain
its success in the competitive world of food
marketing. Overall, Durkee Mower serves as an
industry benchmark of success and an
intriguing story of how one company has stood
the test of time without discounts or any
marketing. According to Mr. Don Durkee,
president and owner, the secret of this
success is quality.
To ensure
that the quality of the product is exactly the
same, batch after batch, they close the plant
down once a year for maintenance
and “reconstruction” of the various components
of the machines which have produced Fluff
batches, according to a secret formula since
1920!
This “quality” goal has been
accomplished by a team of management personnel
who appreciate the customer following and
resist the temptation to tamper with success.

It should be noted that Fluff
is a product that has become a favorite in
homes that cover the full-spectrum of American
living. Marshmallow Fluff has been found in
the cupboards from the White House to campus
dorms and school cafeterias around the
country.
The point of this presentation
is that it is a “tried and true” favorite
American spread. Everyone seems to have eaten
Fluff at some point in his life. As an
example, Senator Kennedy frequently requested
Fluffernutter sandwiches for picnic and
lunches he planned with friends! The product
evokes happy, pleasant memories from
childhood. It’s Marshmallow Fluff by no other
name! |
