His son, Lou Jr. joined him in 1963 after graduating from California Polytechnic University-San Luis Obispo with a degree in Ag Business. The business grew and the products grown changed, with asparagus, lettuce and mixed vegetables added to the deal. Land along the Salinas River from Salinas to Soledad was acquired over time, and the third generation of Huntington’s graduated from college and began working for the company.

Like many old world pasta products, our story begins in the early 1900’s, with the Pucci family immigrating to the United States from Italy. In 1922, the Pucci’s opened up the Cicero Macaroni Company to manufacture noodles of all different shapes and sizes for local restaurants and pasta sellers. Robert B. Strom, Chairman of Strom Products, Ltd. purchased the factory in 1968, and many of the old world pasta-making techniques and recipes were passed down to him. Bob continued to build the company, making it a major manufacturer of Kraft Macaroni and Cheese and many other products. In 1976, with the invention of No Yolks Noodles, the world's first no-cholesterol noodle, Strom Products launched a whole new chapter in it's noode-making life. Today Strom markets a number of different shapes and sizes of No Yolks Noodles, Wacky Mac Pasta and Wacky Mac Macaroni and Cheese Dinner. With quality and the highest standards in mind, no other Pasta maker can match the taste, texture and nutritional value of Strom Products!
