Cedar Crest Ice Cream, a Wisconsin staple, has been acquired by Hoffmann Family of Companies. Founded in 1976 and headquartered in Cedarburg, Wisconsin, Cedar Crest is deeply rooted in a generational dairy tradition.

Expanding Midwest Portfolio

Today, Cedar Crest offers a broad portfolio of frozen desserts, including more than 80 ice cream flavors, 10 custard varieties, six sherbets, and three dairy-free sorbets. Hoffmann Family of Companies, headquartered in Winnetka, Illinois, has been led for more than 50 years by the Kohlwey brothers: Ken, Robert, Bill, and Tim.

As part of the transaction, Renato DePaolis, CEO of Oberweis Dairy, will assume leadership of Cedar Crest, bringing together two heritage brands. HF Companies will continue to operate Cedar Crest and Oberweis as distinct brands under its broader portfolio.
