Howard Schreiber co-founded Schreiber Foods International in 1980 with his parents, Norman and Helen Schreiber. After 46 years leading the company, he is enjoying a well-earned step toward retirement while staying active in the company at an advisory level as Chairman.
Our mission at Schreiber Foods International, Inc. has always been to serve as trusted partners to our customers and vendors by providing leadership, integrity, and innovation to address their supply chain needs while delivering quality assured food products from around the world. When we founded the company in 1980, we envisioned an efficient network of global suppliers and domestic distributors to connect globally sourced ingredients with growing demand.
We accomplish this mission with our people. We provide a flexible work environment, and while we always stress the importance of quality work and dedication to our customers and suppliers, we also stress the importance of a high-level work/life balance, with family still coming first.
Our family has been in food distribution since the 1940s, when the modern foodservice industry was just forming. Since then, we’ve upheld the same core tenets of business through every iteration of Schreiber’s companies: integrity, reliability, quality products, and unparalleled service. The world has grown more complicated, and more demanding despite the advancement of technology, but it is our people and our commitment to our ideals with which we base all decisions to grow as a reliable global leader.
Schreiber Foods International is in a new phase of expansion, and I’m proud to see both the commitment to our longstanding principles and the fresh energy our team is bringing to the company. I’m glad that my daughter Emily is assuming a leadership role to continue our family legacy and perpetuate our company’s successes, along with the other members of our very capable and dedicated CEO Council.
