Few brands have enjoyed such a rich history as Mott’s. For more than a century, Mott’s has been an industry leader in manufacturing, in packaging and in new product development.

Samuel Rogers Mott (known as S.R.) was born on June 29, 1826. Fifty years later, Mott’s would explode onto the national scene at the Philadelphia Centennial of 1876, the first major world’s fair to be held in the United States. Amongst the innovations premiering that year, including Bell’s telephone, Edison’s telegraph and the typewriter, S.R. entered his apple cider and vinegar. So enthusiastically were his products received that he received a first prize for their quality.

S.R. pioneered advanced pasteurization and filtration techniques at his mill in Bouckland, N.Y., and the popularity of his products began to grow.
