WESTERVILLE, OH — Lancaster Colony Corp. has changed its name to The Marzetti Co., a rebrand that recognizes the company’s future in specialty food manufacturing while honoring the 130-year legacy of its flagship brand, T. Marzetti.

“Marzetti is embarking on a transformational chapter and doing so under the name that started it all 130 years ago,” said Dave Ciesinski, president and CEO of The Marzetti Co. “More so than ever, consumers want authenticity and transparency from the companies behind their favorite brands, and the Marzetti name represents our commitment to delivering high-quality, flavorful products that make every meal better.”

Lancaster Colony acquired the Marzetti brand in 1969 and with it, built a portfolio of family-founded food brands, including Sister Schubert’s dinner rolls and New York Bakery garlic bread. By 2014, the company had divested the remainder of its non-food businesses and was strategically positioned as a manufacturer of specialty food products sold in foodservice and retail channels.

“We believe the Marzetti name is critical to positioning ourselves in today’s food industry and communicating the value we deliver for customers and shareholders alike.” — Dave Ciesinski | president and CEO | The Marzetti Co.

Most recently, the company entered into licensing agreements to sell restaurant brands such as Olive Garden, Chick-fil-A, Buffalo Wild Wings, Arby’s, Subway and Texas Roadhouse at retail.

“While Lancaster Colony will always be an important part of our heritage, we believe the Marzetti name is critical to positioning ourselves in today’s food industry and communicating the value we deliver for customers and shareholders alike,” Ciesinski added.

To celebrate its new name and ticker symbol, MZTI, The Marzetti Co. will ring the Nasdaq Stock Market closing bell on July 10.
