Their initial success stemmed from offering high-quality meats, notably their unique sausage. This family-owned venture expanded under their son, Ralph C. Stayer, who became president in 1978, initiating broader distribution.

Johnsonville's products serve a global consumer base, holding a leading market position in the United States and available in over 45 international markets.
