History
1945: Founded on November 18, 1945, by Ralph F. and Alice Stayer and partner Carl Hirsch. They opened a small butcher shop and named it after their rural Wisconsin hometown.
1950s–1970s: The Stayer family purchased their partners' share and began heavily focusing on a single, highly popular family-recipe bratwurst. By 1970, their products were distributed throughout Wisconsin.
1980s: Under the leadership of Ralph C. Stayer, the company expanded nationally and implemented its famous "Johnsonville Way" management style, which shifted traditional management roles to worker-run teams.
Present Day: The brand employs about 3,000 "members" and distributes products to over 45 countries worldwide.
