The Evolution of Pennsylvania Macaroni Company

Pride, tradition and determination. This is one of those stories that are filled with both and much more. Like so many immigrant success stories, let's start in Italy. In the very rich tradition village of Trabia, Sicily, there were 3 brothers of the proud, hard working Sunseri family that envisioned the dream of bringing their goals and admirable work ethic to America. In 1902, Augustino, Salvatore and Michael Sunseri formed the company that is now known as the Pennsylvania Macaroni Company. It was not easy. It never is. They started out by manufacturing pasta. After going through the normal growing pains of starting out, things started looking up. Then, a devastating fire that would have knocked the life and determination out of many did not stop the Sunseri's.

With incredible guts and will, they rebuilt and soon the pasta manufacturing blossomed into olive oil and spice retailing along with offering specialty food products and cheeses. The nucleus was formed and in the late 1940's, Augustino's sons, Robert (Uncle Bob) and Salvatore took the reins and it was at this point that phenomenal success could be seen developing.
