It was 1932 in Chicago when Paul M. Angell developed sheet cake that rolled without cracking and married it with ice cream to create the ice cream cake roll. Described as the perfect marriage of ice cream and cake, it even became the inspiration for the companys name. Newly Weds Foods would take its first strategic turn in the early 1950s, making food coatings for the emerging frozen food industry. By the mid-fifties, Newly Weds Foods had become the largest producer of customized food coatings in the U.S., a position we continue to hold to this day. This move had taken the company into ingredient manufacturing and established a platform for future success. Over the past 7 decades, Newly Weds has expanded manufacturing beyond North America to include Europe, Asia and beyond. Capabilities have grown from bread crumbs and other food coating systems to seasonings and sauces, as well as food safety and functional ingredients. Today, Newly Weds Foods is a world leader in food ingredient innovation. Our network of R&D, Culinary and manufacturing facilities around the globe allows us to serve customer needs in more than 94 countries. Despite our size and scope, weve continued to be an independent, privately-held business answerable only to the demands of our customers. That is why weve consistently invested in infrastructure, human resources and capacity over the years to keep pace with their growing needs. And, why we are ready to address the sourcing and formula challenges the food industry will be facing tomorrow. Charles T. Angell
