Our History
Founded in 1991
Like the perfect pasta dough, Joseph’s Gourmet Pasta began from scratch just north of Boston in Haverhill, Massachusetts. The company’s founder first started making artisanal ravioli stuffed with flavorful fillings, using the finest, freshest local ingredients. The demand for his homemade ravioli grew quickly, and out of that, a foodservice leader was born. Today, Joseph’s Gourmet Pasta became the nation’s premier pasta brand, renowned for its artisanal quality frozen pasta and savory sauces.
Acquired by Nestlé
in 2006
In 2006, Joseph’s Gourmet Pasta was acquired by Nestle, the largest food company in the world. Nestle invested millions of dollars in ramping up the infrastructure of Joseph’s production facility, creating Quality Assurance standards, adding new technologies and automation, and expanding the pasta-making plant to 160,000 square feet.
Brynwood Partners
takes over in 2014
Always on the lookout to help consumer products companies become even more successful, Brynwood Partners acquired Joseph’s Gourmet Pasta in 2014. Our vision is to return the pasta-making giant back to its innovative, entrepreneurial roots, and we are committed to making Joseph’s Gourmet Pasta #1 in food service.
