In 1905, Carl Woeber came from Germany
to Springfield, Ohio, with a handful of family mustard recipes,
expertise in the art of mustard making, and the desire to succeed.
He launched his business from home, making a variety of quality
mustards in his own kitchen and selling them door-to-door by horse
and buggy. It was just a matter of time before the demand for
the Woeber products grew into a need for a manufacturing facility.
The rest is history.
Carl's son, Raymond, joined the business and made great strides
in expanding product lines and distribution. As new flavors and
other ground horseradish products were introduced, several plant
expansions came about.
Today, the company is owned and operated by the third generation
of the Woeber family, brothers Ray and Dick. Under their leadership,
Woeber's has grown to be one of the largest suppliers of horseradish
in the United States. With the most up-to-date technology and
increased warehousing capacity, Woeber's is capable of adding
new product lines and increasing its capacity for its foodservice,
commercial and retail customers.
It is rare in today's business environment that even third generation
family businesses survive the temptation to sell out or be gobbled
up by huge conglomerates. The fact that the Woebers maintain the
family pride and hands-on passion for making the best mustards
and horseradish products is testimony to the quality of their
brands.
