1. Founding and Early Years (1920s)

Origins: Sealtest was established in 1921 by the National Dairy Products Corporation in the United States. The name “Sealtest” was derived from a milk-testing process that ensured quality and freshness.

Product Range: Throughout the 1930s, Sealtest expanded its product line to include not just milk but also ice cream, cream, and other dairy products.
Regional Growth: The brand became known primarily in the northeastern U.S., with local bottling plants ensuring fresh distribution.

3. Post-War Era and Popularity (1950s-1960s)

Advertising and Branding: Sealtest became widely recognized through effective advertising campaigns, emphasizing the quality and freshness of its products.
Market Leadership: By the 1960s, Sealtest had established itself as a leading dairy brand, known for its reliable and high-quality products.
