Schwan's Company, formerly known as The Schwan Food Company, was a food company with approximately 8,500 employees. It originated in the United States as a family-owned business and in 2019 became a subsidiary of CJ CheilJedang of South Korea.
Schwan's Company's former subsidiary, Schwan's Home Service, rebranded as Yelloh in 2022, remained a privately-held, independent entity owned and operated by the Schwan family. Yelloh, which traced back to the Schwan's home delivery business launched by Marvin Schwan in 1952, sold frozen foods from home delivery trucks, in 13 states. In November 2024, it shut down its operations.[1]
Schwan's Company continues to be widely known for its consumer brands, including Freschetta Pizza, Tony's Frozen Pizza, Mrs. Smith's Pies, Edwards Frozen Pies, Pagoda Egg Rolls, and Red Baron Pizza. The company also sells products to the food-service industry.
