Johnsonville, along with dozens of other local employers, was nominated for a couple of local awards in the “Working Together” category, during the 2025 Sheboygan Chamber of Commerce gala. Congratulations and thanks go to the Sheboygan County Economic Development Corporation (SCEDC), for its leadership and collaboration in The Forward Fund partnership. Johnsonville, Kohler Co., Masters Gallery, Sargento and Sheboygan County were recognized for its work forming The Forward Fund. At the chamber gala, the Forward Fund Partnership captured the award in the “Working Together” category. The four companies and county contributed $10M total to start the partnership and eventually build 200+ single-family homes across Sheboygan County. Currently, 27 different county employers have families living in the first subdivision in Sheboygan Falls, called Founders’ Pointe.

Congratulations goes to our marketing-communications team, which was honored with a Silver Effie at the 2025 US Awards Gala in New York City. An Effie win is considered one of the most prestigious awards in the marketing industry. Outrage is all the rage today, but on a hunch that America was more unified than traditional polls told us, Johnsonville ran a political poll of its own. The Johnsonville National Temperature Check, conducted last year with The Harris Poll, confirmed that America agrees on a lot. Data underscored Americans’ desire to reconnect and revealed that 80% of Americans felt exhausted by the anger and negativity in the country. Inspired by this commonality, the brand team embraced the tonal shift with a call to action to turn down the temperature and “Keep It Juicy.” For more detail, visit the Johnsonville newsroom at: https://johnsonville.com/news/johnsonville-earns-silver-effie-award/ ...Show more

We love having fun with our sausage fans and consumers. What was supposed to read "Give Yourself a Round of Applause" just read differently to Wheel of Fortune contestant Will Jordan. His incorrect guess ("Treat Yourself a Round of Sausage") went viral, but he had a great sense of humor about his flub, and Johnsonville jumped on the fun moment with Mr. Jordan....Show more
