We’re employee owned
We’re proud of our ownership stake in Schreiber through the Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP). We share something special, and that’s our common bond as owners of the company.
We call ourselves “partners” rather than employees because we own our company.

Our ownership history
Founded in Green Bay, Wisconsin, in 1945, the L.D. Schreiber Cheese Company was owned solely by L.D. Schreiber, a “butter and egg” businessman from Chicago. On Oct. 1, 1962, a monumental event in Schreiber’s history took place as

L.D. Schreiber agreed to sell 49 percent of the company to 13 employees, who were responsible for the growing success of the company and wanted a stake in the business. Today,
more than 50 years later, the company is owned by more than 5,300 partners.

Every day, we come to work knowing the choices we make, the ideas we initiate and the problems we solve will make a difference. This gives us a sense of pride in everything we do because we are striving to be the best customer-brand dairy company in the world. In the end, we share in the direct benefit of our hard work because we’re the owners of the company.
