Company history

Dawn Foods bakery was founded in Jackson Michigan by two master bakers in the early 20th century. This small bakery quickly became so famous for its donuts that the Dawn Donut Company was founded as early as 1920 to sell the donut mix.

In 1935 Marlin Jones joined the company. Dawn survived the recession and the Second World War unscathed and in 1955 passed into the possession of the Jones family (still owners). Due to the growth and expansion of the product line, DDC (Dawn Donut Company) became Dawn Food Products Inc. in 1977.

In the 1980s and 1990s, Dawn Food expanded towards Europe (Evesham, UK, Steenbergen NL) and the rest of the North American continent and has since been trading as Dawn Foods International, the first US American bakery products manufacturer with production facilities outside the USA.
