Frederick Stroehmann put his family values into baking bread the old-fashioned, Pennsylvania Dutch way: packing it with freshness, great taste and nutrition. These Stroehmann standards have been passed down to generations of proud bakers who continue to bake in this tradition.

H&S Bakery was incorporated in 1962, setting its sights on the rapidly growing foodservice industry in which it plays a dominant role today. In 1965, the Athena Automatic Rolls division opened as the company's first fully automated roll plant, which eventually grew into the multi-state Northeast Foods division that specializes in fast casual dining services.
