A Legacy of Growth
Although the company, in its current form, was established in 2012, Post Holdings draws on a long history tied to the iconic Post cereal brand. Over the past decade, the company has grown through a series of strategic acquisitions, including well-known food manufacturers in the United States and abroad.
At the same time, Post has divested and spun off businesses when appropriate, refining its focus and strengthening its portfolio. This acquisition, integration, and optimization strategy has positioned Post Holdings as one of the most resilient and diversified food companies in the market.
The company has also brought jobs and investment to the St. Louis region through expansions, including new manufacturing facilities and community partnerships.
