The City of Vernon proudly congratulates Sweetener Products Company on its 100th Anniversary! As Sweetener’s President & CEO Dale Jabour noted, less than a thousand companies in the U.S. make it to the 100-year milestone.

Since 1923, Sweetener Products have been making life sweeter by supplying the food and beverage industry with an entire spectrum of ingredients. Originally called Sugar Products, it began as a small family company that supplied granulated and powdered sugar to local Los Angeles bakeries. In 1937, they relocated to a 10,000 square foot facility in the City of Vernon. Today they own and operate two full-service state-of-the-art SQF Level 3 certified facilities that span 11 acres. 

Sweetener is a trusted source for acidulants, emulsifiers, fibers, gums, proteins, starches, and more to customers in various sectors of the food industry including dairy, bakery, beverage, confectionary, and contract manufacturing.

Sweetener employs more than 100 people in its Vernon facilities and is committed to sustaining economic growth in the region. Sweetener is an engaged member of the business community actively participating in the Vernon Business and Industry Commission and Green Vernon Commission. With a long history of supporting local schools, including Vernon City Elementary, Sweetener is involved in community services through the Rio Hondo, Vernon Rotary Club.

In 2022, Sweetener was named the ‘Corporate Citizen of the Year’ by the Vernon Chamber of Commerce. They exemplify the slogan, “Vernon Means Business”.

The City of Vernon is pleased to recognize Sweetener Products on its centennial anniversary – a true American success story!
