The Suter Company is a 100% employee-owned company in the packaged food industry headquartered in Sycamore, Illinois. Charles Suter established the company in 1925 with a simple aspiration to launch his entrepreneurial venture. Charles Suter's enduring legacy is encapsulated by the core values of diligence, resilience, and integrity. These foundational principles continue to shape the company's success, nearly a century since its inception. Today, the company possesses the capacity to create both conventional and cutting-edge food items tailored to customer preferences. Through a fusion of product concepts, recipe development, and two state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities, they can customize products to align with distinctive flavor profiles and nutritional specifications, guided by customer input. 

In 2020, The Suter Company became employee-owned when the Suter family, after three generations and nearly a century in business, established an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP). This significant development represents a substantial enrichment of their already robust company culture and fundamental principles. 

By extending ownership to all employees of the Suter Company, they are effectively ushering in the fourth generation of owners, solidifying their dedication to all stakeholders in the enterprise. The transition to an ESOP not only reinforces their commitment to exceptional customer service but also fosters a heightened sense of enthusiasm and dedication among employees for their daily work.
