Marzetti is the new name for Dividend Hero Lancaster Colony
A legacy of strong dividends continues under a fresh brand identity
A notable change last week came from Lancaster Colony, which has officially changed its name to Marzetti (ticker: MZTI 0.00%↑ ). Lancaster is a Dividend Hero for 2025 and is known for its outstanding dividend history.
Marzetti is a heritage food brand—rooted in Teresa Marzetti’s Italian‑style restaurant in Columbus, Ohio (established in 1896)—that has grown into a maker of high‑quality, flavor‑packed dressings and dips. They produce a wide range of refrigerated and shelf‑stable products—think classic and “Simply” dressings (made with real ingredients, no preservatives, no artificial colors or flavors), veggie dips, croutons, caramel and chocolate fruit dips, plus Slaw dressing (“America’s number‑one slaw dressing”)
Currently Marzetti pays a $0.95 per share quarterly dividend with a yield of 2.15% at a stock price of $176.65. Marzetti is a Dividend Hero with now 62 consecutive years of increased dividends.
