A family-led food manufacturer built on innovation, quality & service
Our story began in 1890 with R.W. Scott selling butter and cream. Then since 1959, we’ve been the pioneers behind the whipped cream on your sundae and the freezer pops in your cooler. With three facilities and over 1,000 team members, we combine a hundred years of heritage with cutting-edge food innovation to make the world a little more delicious, one treat at a time.
“The culture here has really been one of entrepreneurs.”
Nick Patrick, Sr. Director of Sales
We’re proud to be Veteran-Owned and Family-Led. This combination is the “secret ingredient” to our century of success. The principles of integrity, quality, and exceptional service aren’t just corporate buzzwords here, they are the values our family lived by in uniform and continue to uphold in our facilities today.
