Fromm Family Pet Food

Fromm Family Pet Food is a fifth-generation family-owned and operated pet food company founded in 1904 by the Fromm brothers in Hamburg, Wisconsin. For over 120 years, the Nieman family (descendants of the original Fromm family) has maintained complete ownership and control, with Tom, Kathy, Bryan, and Dan Nieman proudly representing the fourth and fifth generations running the business today. What began as a silver fox farm evolved into one of America's most trusted premium pet food manufacturers—all while remaining fiercely independent and family-controlled through more than a century of industry consolidation.

Fromm owns and operates three manufacturing facilities entirely in Wisconsin: two dry food and treat plants (Mequon and Columbus) and one wet food cannery (Eden). Every bag and can of Fromm pet food originates from these family-owned facilities, ensuring complete control over ingredients, formulation, safety, and quality. The company's commitment to premium ingredients, meticulous preparation, and uncompromised safety standards reflects five generations of family values and dedication to animal nutrition. Fromm's Approved Supplier Program, traceability systems, and regular compliance audits demonstrate that family ownership enables higher standards than corporate-owned competitors. The company partners with Dogs Inc. to donate food to nearly 600 guide and service dogs nationwide, embodying the family's belief in giving back to the community.
