Newly Weds Foods started its journey in 1932 in Chicago, born from the innovative idea of Paul M. Angell who combined crack-free sheet cake with ice cream to invent the ice cream cake roll. This “perfect marriage” of cake and ice cream inspired the company’s very name. A significant strategic shift occurred in the early 1950s when Newly Weds Foods began producing food coatings for the burgeoning frozen food sector.
By the mid-1950s, Newly Weds Foods had risen to become the foremost custom food coatings manufacturer in the United States, a position of leadership that the company proudly maintains today. This pivotal move into ingredient manufacturing laid a robust groundwork for the company’s future accomplishments. Over the subsequent seven decades, Newly Weds Foods has broadened its manufacturing footprint beyond North America, establishing operations across Europe, Asia, and other regions globally.
The company’s capabilities have also expanded significantly from its origins in bread crumbs and food coating systems to encompass a diverse portfolio including seasonings, sauces, and both food safety and functional ingredients. Presently, Newly Weds Foods stands as a global frontrunner in food ingredient innovation. A worldwide network of Research & Development, culinary, and manufacturing facilities enables Newly Weds Foods to effectively serve the diverse needs of customers in over 94 countries.
Despite its extensive scale and global reach, Newly Weds Foods has remained an independent, privately held entity, prioritizing its responsiveness and commitment to customer demands above all else. This customer-centric ethos is why Newly Weds Foods has consistently invested in infrastructure, human resources, and production capacity to stay ahead of and meet the evolving needs of its clientele. Looking forward, Newly Weds Foods is well-prepared to tackle the sourcing and formulation challenges that the food industry is anticipated to face in the years to come.
