History
In 1925, Samuel E. Dean purchased the Pecatonica
Marketing Company, an evaporated milk processing facility located in
northwestern Illinois. In 1927, Dean renamed it Dean Evaporated Milk
Company. That same year, he purchased some local Illinois dairy plants.
"Through thoughtful acquisitions and careful financial management, Dean
Foods Company has grown from a small regional dairy into a diversified food
company."
Dean Foods tried to merge with a dairy in Chicago
but was blocked by an injunction based on antitrust concerns. Dean Foods fought
the decision up to the Supreme Court but ultimately lost in Federal Trade
Commission v. Dean Foods Co.On December 21, 2001, Dean Foods was acquired by the
Dallas-based Suiza Foods Corporation. Suiza began in 1995, when Gregg L.
Engles, owner of commercial ice company Reddy Ice merged Reddy with Suiza
Dairy, which Engles had acquired in 1993. After the merger of Reddy and the
dairy acquisitions, the company became Suiza Foods Corporation. Although Suiza
was the nominal survivor, it changed its name to Dean Foods, changed its ticker
symbol on the New York Stock Exchange from “SZA” to “DF” and moved all of its
operations to Dallas. On March 29, 2006, Dean Foods was added to the Standard
and Poor’s 500 Index.[citation needed] The headquarters for Dean Foods was also
moved to Dallas after the merger with Suiza Foods. The company moved to
Cityplace Center in the Cityplace district in the first quarter of 2010.
