Quality, Convenience, and Value Since 1972.
Our family owned company has been producing top quality perogies at a great value since 1972. Our founder, Walter Makowecki, was driven by the idea that perogies could become a staple food similar to pasta or potatoes if he could make them at scale for an affordable price. He worked hard to develop the automated process of producing high quality perogies, and promote them as a convenient and nutritious frozen food. His son Joe, now president and CEO, has continued to add efficiencies and technology to production, introduced delicious new varieties of perogies, and marketed CHEEMO perogies across North America and around the world.
Our Beginnings
Walter believed that a family of five should be able to enjoy a healthy nutritious meal for under $5.00 and that top quality perogies could be a good low-cost part of the meal. That is still the case today as you will see in the many tasty snack and meal recipes we provide on our website. Check out the pictures below of our early years in the food industry.
