Western Yeast Company was founded in 1932 by Dr. E. W. Newhaven with a process of making yeast culture that he had developed at Cal-Tech in 1930.  The Chillicothe Location, at 305 West Ash Street, was built in 1947 under the supervision of John D. Gauwitz, Sr..  Western Yeast Company was purchased from Dr. Newhaven in 1966 by Keith A. Turner.  It was incorporated on August 1, 1969 in the state of Illinois and renamed Western Yeast Company, Inc.  The plant was expanded to include 306 West Ash Street in 1988.  Then in 1999, the original plant was torn down and replaced with a new state of the art facility.
