About Us
FM Turner Company was founded in 1928 and started with the “original packaging,” mason jars. Our family-owned business has grown significantly since then, with 50 years being our longest tenured partnership representing Comet, now WNA, since 1974.
With industry consolidation now the norm, our goal is long-term relationship building with a personal touch, period. We’re approaching 100 years with no intention of slowing down anytime soon.
