Dawn Foods

Dawn Foods is a private, family-origin global bakery manufacturer, ingredients supplier, and distributor headquartered in Jackson, Michigan. The company supplies mixes, icings, fillings, frozen baked goods, and related bakery products and services to retail bakeries, foodservice customers, and industrial bakers. Founded in 1920 as the Dawn Donut Company, it has grown into an international business with operations across North America, Europe, Latin America, and other regions. Dawn Foods is not a life science, biotech, pharma, or healthcare company; it operates in the food and bakery sector. In March 2026, Puratos announced a definitive agreement to acquire Dawn Foods, but the transaction was described as pending customary regulatory approvals and expected to close by the end of 2026.
