History
Established in 1874 and named after U.S.
President Andrew Johnson, Johnsonville is a small rural Wisconsin village in
Sheboygan County in the midst of
dairy farms and
cheese factories. It was popularly known as
Schnappsville, and is still much the same as it was back in
1945 when Johnsonville Sausage was founded.
Ralph and Alice Stayer opened a butcher shop and named it after their hometown of Johnsonville, Wisconsin. The company says that the sausage made in the Stayer’s shop was from an Austrian family recipe.
During the
1950s and
1960s Johnsonville sausage expanded to three retail
grocery meat markets in nearby communities. The Stayer’s children, Ralph C. and Launa, both became involved in sausage making and expanded the company's wholesale business.
Ralph Stayer became president of Johnsonville and launched the company into a major expansion by shipping its products out-of-state. A second plant was built and in 1981 Johnsonville aired its first TV commercial. The
1980s saw a sales increase of 20 times that of the previous decade. At this point Johnsonville sausage was distributed to 47 states.
