Schwan's Company announces year-long celebration of its 65th anniversary
Schwan’s Company has announced a year-long celebration of its 65th anniversary. The company was founded on March 18, 1952, when a 23-year-old Marvin Schwan loaded up 14 gallons of ice cream from the Schwan’s Dairy into a road-weary Dodge panel van and began selling it to customers in rural Minnesota. Today, the foods of Schwan’s Company can be found wherever consumers eat across the United States.
Since Marvin’s first ride, the company has grown to become a leader in the frozen-food industry. Schwan’s legacy home-delivery business delivers more than 300 delicious foods nationwide, its direct-to-store business offers trusted brands in grocery stores and other retail outlets, and its food-service business provides foods to venues such as schools, restaurants and convenience stores.
