A Rich Tradition: Crafting Quality, Great-Tasting Food Products Since 1961

Morski Brands, Inc. has been crafting quality, great-tasting food products for over 60 years. Our company’s journey began in 1961 in the kitchen of Dawn and Harold Swan. Dawn began making her family recipe potato salad, which Harold sold, at the local grocery store he managed. The popularity of their product led production to expand from their kitchen to a renovated family garage and eventually, in 1985, to a 7,800 square feet facility in Portage, WI.

Over time, the company has continued to grow and expand, and today it is housed in a 72,000 square feet food manufacturing facility. Morski Brands Inc. serves approximately 14 states with delicious salads and enjoys partnerships with 20 distributors as we continue to set the industry standard for culinary and ingredient excellence.

Our Mission

Our mission at Morski Brands Inc. is to produce the highest quality products in whatever food category we choose to enter. We want the name Morski Brands Inc. to be synonymous with quality food products. It is our goal to provide a safe and rewarding work environment for our employees who are a key component in our success.

Dan Moore

President

With more than 30 years of experience in food manufacturing, Dan utilizes his expertise to grow with the changing trends of the food industry. Morski Brands Inc. will be the go-to manufacturer for customers in need of frozen and fresh co-packing/co-manufacturing resources, as well as ‘ready to eat’ salads, dips, meals, side-dishes and appetizers – and that begins with creating a transparent relationship with the customer.

Dan and his wife, Heather, are enjoying empty-nest status after raising their four children. Outside of work they enjoy golf, travel and lake-life with friends and family.

Working alongside Dan is his daughter Haley, who brings a fresh perspective to the company with a passion for innovation and a commitment to ensure Morski Brands Inc. remains at the forefront of the industry. Haley is set to play a key role in expanding Morski Brands Inc. as the premier choice for frozen and fresh co-packing/co-manufacturing resources. The Moore family legacy continues with Haley’s dynamic presence in steering the company towards new horizons.
