β¨In 1898, Italian Immigrant and new Chicago resident Vincent Formusa began importing foods from his native Sicily. Over the years, he expanded his business with his son Peter to include pickled vegetables, Olive and Vegetable Oil, Tomatoes, Pasta, and other Italian Specialty foods. Peterβs Son in Law Bob Johnson took over the business in the 1970βs along with his wife Sue, Peteβs daughter. Bob with Sue grew the business exponentially through his years as President and is celebrating his own 50-year anniversary with VFC. The company moved beyond local delivery and moved into international sales and distribution under Bob and Sue.
Today, Bob and Sue remain active in the company. And while Bob still serves as CEO, the business is now in the hands of the fourth Generation as two of their children Jeff and Joey, serve as President and Vice President,
respectively.
Help us celebrate 125 years of Marconi, ALL MONTH LONG!! π ππ πΆ Tune in for future Wayback Wednesday's to learn the history behind many generations of the Marconi brand.
