Join us for the Family Business Alliance Fall event featuring keynote speaker, Tony Simmons, retired CEO of the McIlhenny Company which makes Tabasco products. Mr. Simmons will share the Tabasco story and talk about challenges faced by seven different generations of a 150-year-old family-owned business.
THE HISTORY OF TABASCO® BRAND
TABASCO® brand products are made by McIlhenny Company, founded by Edmund McIlhenny in 1868 on Avery Island, Louisiana. It was here that he developed the recipe for TABASCO® Original Red Pepper Sauce that’s been passed down from generation to generation. To this day, the company is still family-owned and -operated on that very same island.
