History

Lifeway Foods was founded by Michael Smolyansky, a Ukrainian Jewish immigrant who arrived in the United States from Kyiv, Ukraine, USSR, in 1976.

During a trip to West Germany, Michael and his wife, Ludmila Smolyansky, realized the kefir sold at a tradeshow was not sold in the United States and decided to start producing it. The company opened its first plant in Skokie, Illinois and continuously grew its operations, eventually turning public. After Michael's death in 2002, his daughter, Julie Smolyansky, took on the role of CEO.
