PROFILE |
 |
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, especially at Gilster-Mary Lee. The second-largest private-label cereal manufacturer in the US (behind Ralcorp Holdings), Gilster-Mary Lee makes a variety of cereals in addition to private-label cake, cocoa, dinner, and drink mixes; pasta; and popcorn. The company's customers include major US grocery chains and food wholesalers. The firm also offers products under its own Hospitality brand. The Gilster family founded the company as a flour mill in 1895 and began making cake mixes in the 1950s. Gilster-Mary Lee's 90 or so stockholders are led by president and CEO Donald Welge and his brother CFO Michael Welge, great-nephews of the company's founders.
