[edit] History
Sturm Foods' origin was a dairy farm operation begun in 1905 by Arthur Sturm and his four sons. World War II helped increase the business, at that point known as A. Sturm & Sons. The company began manufactured- for the first time- bulk amounts of dried food products, such as eggs and powdered milk, to be delivered to American servicemen on the battle fronts. The company entered the private label distribution market in the early 1970s and continues this business model to the current day. In May of 2005, Sturm Foods was acquired by the LLC and private equity firm HM Capital Partners.
