Healthcare follows close behind with the presence of the Bayhealth Medical Center, along with industrial manufacturing – especially in the agricultural, chemical, and food processing sectors. Kraft Heinz Company, Procter & Gamble, EdgeWell Personal Care Brands, and Hirsh Industries all have facilities within Dover.
