Company history

J.M. Smucker was founded in Orrville, Ohio, in 1897 by Jerome Monroe (“J.M.”) Smucker, who began by making apple butter; the company was incorporated in Ohio in 1921.[1][11] It expanded beyond fruit spreads into ice-cream toppings and syrups around 1940, and began national distribution in 1942.[12]

A major expansion came in 2002, when Smucker added the Jif and Crisco brands through a merger with Procter & Gamble.[13] In 2008, it completed a merger with Folgers, broadening its business into packaged coffee.[14] In 2015, it acquired Big Heart Pet Brands, expanding into pet food and snacks.[15]

Mark T. Smucker became president and CEO in 2016, succeeding Richard K. Smucker, who became executive chairman.[16] In 2018, the company acquired Ainsworth Pet Nutrition, maker of Rachael Ray Nutrish, and sold its U.S. baking business.[17][18] It sold its Crisco business in 2020, divested several pet-food brands and its private-label pet-food business to Post in 2023, and completed its acquisition of Hostess Brands that year.[19]+2 [1]+11
