Jacob Stern & Sons, Inc. is a privately owned importer, exporter, processor, and distributor of specialty agricultural products, anchored by a long family history. Headquartered in Santa Barbara, California, the business operates through two divisions: Acme-Hardesty in Blue Bell, PA, a large North American distributor of oleochemicals, castor oils and derivatives, preservatives and bio-based products. The Texas division, based in Houston, stores and processes tallow and yellow grease customized to meet the needs and specifications of global partners.

The firm traces its origins to more than 155 years of family ownership, with a reputation built on quality, stability, and long-standing relationships. Its customers and market focus span the global fats and oils sector, where it acts as an importer, exporter, processor, and distributor of related agricultural products. In early 2020, Tyson Foods announced a partnership with Jacob Stern & Sons to form a joint venture named JST Global to serve the worldwide fats and oils market.
