Celebrating 64 years of passionate people and quality foods

March 18, 2016 — At The Schwan Food Company, we are recognizing and celebrating the day our company was founded. On this day in 1952, a 23-year old Marvin Schwan packed his Dodge panel van with 14 gallons of his family’s signature ice cream and set out to deliver it to families in western Minnesota. By the end of his trip, all 14 gallons of ice cream were sold and the Schwan home-delivery business was born.

Each year we celebrate his historic trip as it set the foundation for what would become The Schwan Food Company.

We have done much since that day, but one thing remains the same. As a company, we continue to strive to bring Marvin's vision and values to life so we may deliver and provide the same high-quality and delicious foods for our customers and consumers.
