The Marzetti Company manufactures and sells specialty foods, a business that grew from Teresa and Joseph Marzetti’s Italian restaurant opened in Columbus, Ohio, in 1896. Its manufacturing heritage includes salad dressings that became popular enough to move from the restaurant into grocery stores, and today the company produces food for both retail and foodservice customers. The company acquired Sister Schubert’s in 2000, whose Luverne, Alabama bakery had expanded to produce more than five million rolls daily.
