Missy Senffner's Company Details
The Lifeway Foods story begins in 1986 with kefir, a milk-based cultured drink that is popular in Eastern Europe and is said to be more nutritional than yogurt. That year, Russian immigrant Michael Smolyansky began manufacturing kefir in his basement to bring the taste of his native country to the U.S. After Michael Smolyansky passed away in 2002, his daughter Julie Smolyansky assumed the role of President, while his son Edward Smolyansky assumed the role of Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer. Today, Lifeway is the country's leading manufacturer of kefir, with multiple flavors and varieties that include lowfat, whole milk and organic versions as well as a children's line, and a provider of other probiotic natural and organic dairy products for health-conscious consumers.
