About Us
Over 50 years ago, we began more than a sausage company—we created a legacy that led to Sheboygan, Wisconsin, being known as the "Bratwurst Capital of the World." Sheboygan has always had a proud German heritage—people with a strong work ethic and a history of excellent sausage. Old Wisconsin is built on this foundation, and it can still be tasted today in our quality and slow, hand crafted approach to sausage making. Sheboygan was a natural place to start. The unique climate on the shores of Lake Michigan is perfect for sausage making. With that knowledge, Old Wisconsin began as Thielmann’s, a small sausage shop owned and operated by Frank Thielmann and William Stolzman. Even today, we still use many of their high-quality sausage recipes. Due to increased demand, we opened our first plant in 1953 and changed our name to Thielmann’s Old Wisconsin Sausage Company shortly after.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this fit in my desk drawer at the office?
Yes. The 4 oz single and 4 oz pack of 4 sizes are slim enough to slide into a desk drawer or a small office cabinet, giving you a protein option without leaving your workspace.
Is this a good pre workout snack to eat at my desk?
Yes. With 5g of protein and 0g sugar per serving, it provides a quick protein boost before a workout without sitting heavy in your stomach.
Can I eat this quickly between meetings?
Absolutely. It is fully cooked, ready to eat, and requires zero prep or cleanup, which is ideal for back to back meeting days.
Does the resealable bulk bag stay fresh through the work week?
Yes. Once opened, the 28 oz resealable pouch keeps the sticks fresh in the fridge for casual snackers who only eat one or two sticks per workday.
Will the smell bother my coworkers in an open office?
The peppery smoke aroma is mild compared to heating food, so it is generally office friendly, though you may want to keep the pouch sealed until you are ready to eat.
Is this a good snack to keep in my home office pantry?
Yes. It is a shelf stable, no prep protein that supports focus and steady energy during deep work sessions at home.
Can I take this to a coworking space?
Yes. The 4 oz size is compact and quiet to eat, so it works well in shared workspaces where strong food smells are discouraged.
How does this compare to protein bars for a work snack?
It is more filling per serving and has 0g sugar, which means no mid afternoon crash, and it does not leave a sticky wrapper or crumbs on your keyboard.
Is this better than beef jerky for the office?
It has a bolder, more layered pepper flavor than standard jerky, and the lower calorie, lower sugar profile makes it a smarter pick for desk snackers watching macros.
Will I get tired of eating this every day at the office?
Variety is built in. The 4 pack multipack lets you rotate through sticks across the week, and pairing them with cheese, nuts, or pickles keeps the routine interesting.
Is this a smart lunchbox addition for my partner who works long shifts?
Yes. It holds up without refrigeration until opening, which makes it a reliable protein boost for shift workers, nurses, and anyone with limited break time.
How should I store these sausage sticks after opening?
Before opening, the sticks are fully shelf stable and can be kept in your pantry. Once opened, reseal the pouch and store it in the refrigerator to maintain peak freshness for the remaining sticks.
Are these sausage sticks ready to eat right out of the package?
Yes. They are fully cooked and naturally smoked, so you can eat them straight from the package with no prep, cooking, or reheating required.
How many sticks are in one serving?
Each serving is calculated to deliver 90 calories, 5g of protein, and 0g of sugar. Refer to the nutrition panel on the package for the exact stick count per serving.
Do these work for someone with a gluten sensitivity?
Yes. The product is formulated to be gluten free, making it a safe snack option for people with celiac disease or anyone avoiding gluten.
Are these safe for kids to eat?
Yes, the product itself is shelf stable and made with quality ingredients. However, the Serrano, Jalapeño, and Red Pepper blend delivers a real kick of heat, so younger children or spice sensitive eaters may find it too hot. Use your discretion based on your child's palate.
What comes in the package when I order it?
You will receive a single sealed pouch or multipack of Old Wisconsin Hot and Spicy Sausage Snack Sticks in the size you selected: 28 oz resealable bulk, 4 oz single, or 4 oz pack of 4. Nothing extra is required to enjoy them.
Is this product safe to eat past the printed date?
For best quality, consume by the date printed on the package. Because the sticks are shelf stable, they are often still safe shortly after, but always inspect for off smells, texture, or appearance before eating.
Does this product contain any common allergens?
It is gluten free with no fillers or extenders. Always check the printed ingredient list for the most accurate allergen information specific to your sensitivity.
What is the difference between sausage sticks and beef jerky?
Sausage sticks are made from ground seasoned meat that is stuffed into a casing and smoked, giving a softer, more flavorful bite. Beef jerky is made from whole muscle cuts that are dried, resulting in a chewier, leaner texture. Sausage sticks typically deliver bolder seasoning and a richer mouthfeel.
