The family-owned investment firm is committed to growing the company across existing and new markets

“We are thrilled to write the next chapter of the company’s story with the wonderful employees at Oberweis Dairy,” said Geoff Hoffmann, co-CEO of Hoffmann Family of Companies. “Their dedication and passion for delivering exceptional dairy products align perfectly with our values.”

The Hoffmann family has a tradition of investing in multi-generational, family-owned businesses. Their decision to invest in Oberweis was driven by the dairy company’s rich history dating back to 1927, strong brand reputation, and alignment with family values. Hoffmann Family of Companies places a premium on investing in world-class enterprises, and Oberweis’ exceptional products and commitment to service have solidified its position as a household name for nearly a century.

“Our exceptional product set, accompanied by a brand that stands for quality that is second to none, is the foundation for our team members and company to write its next chapter,” said Adam Kraber, President of Oberweis Dairy. “We look forward to exciting developments ahead with Hoffmann Family of Companies.”

As part of the acquisition, Hoffmann Family of Companies plans to make strategic investments throughout Oberweis. The Aurora plant, in particular, will receive significant attention to enhance production capabilities and streamline operations.

“A heartfelt thank you to the team members at Oberweis who stuck with the company through this difficult period,” said Geoff Hoffmann. “Together, we will build a stronger, more resilient future for Oberweis Dairy.”

The Hoffmann family’s dairy roots can be traced back to founder David Hoffmann’s early childhood, spent on a dairy farm in Washington, Missouri. The family has extensive experience acquiring founder-led companies to provide them with the capital to fund growth and improvements. Most of the companies acquired by Hoffmann Family of Companies are still led by their founders, including second and third-generation family leaders.
