As the third-generation Kiolbassa to head the San Antonio-based sausage manufacturer, company President Michael Kiolbassa explains that his family name, which means sausage in Polish, goes beyond a mere icebreaker. It’s a marketing opportunity written into his family’s DNA, says the 48-year-old Kiolbassa, whose family traces its roots to the first migration of Polish immigrants to mid 19th century America.

The Kiolbassa brand has grown to become a market leader in Texas using its "Real Meat, Real Smoke, Real Sausage" tagline to symbolize its commitment to quality and freshness against national competitors.

Founded in 1949, Kiolbassa brand sausage is made with choice beef and pork, fresh spices, and is naturally smoked. It has no fillers, no MSG, and is gluten free. In fact, it has the lowest sodium content among its national competitors, a bonus for health-conscious consumers fixing more meals at home.

“Generation after generation, Kiolbassa brand sausage has been the choice for consumers who demand quality and expect excellence,” says Kiolbassa. 

The 25,000-square-feet Texas plant will produce 10.5 million pounds of sausage this year. Sam’s Club in-store demos will encourage shoppers to sample Kiolbassa.

“If it’s not the best sausage you’ve ever eaten, we’ll give you your money back. Guaranteed,” says Kiolbassa, adding that the company’s growth has been built on that commitment.

Kiolbassa’s popular high school tailgating tradition airs on Food Network’s “Unwrapped.” A complete list of products, recipe promotions are
