PepsiCo Ventures Group

Schreiber Foods strives to do good through food every day. Based in North America, we’re a customer-brand leader in cream cheese, natural cheese, process cheese, beverages and yogurt. Our more than 9,000 employees and presence on five continents enable us to be an essential ingredient in our customers’ success. With annual sales of more than $5 billion, we partner with the best retailers, restaurants, distributors and food manufacturers around the globe. We also recognize our responsibility to do good in the world and are driven to make a difference in everything we do. We’ve come a long way since our start as a small cheese company in 1945. Today, our team is more than 8,000 strong at locations across North America, Europe, South America, Asia and Africa. But our commitment to providing safe food the right way has never changed. At Schreiber, we call ourselves partners, not employees, and there’s a good reason behind that. Our work is more than just a job. We make the company grow. We help each other grow and take care of each other along the way. And, we all share in the rewards. Our people are truly the heart of our company, and we're on a journey together. We work hard to find great people with diverse backgrounds, experiences and perspectives, and provide opportunities to help them grow. But it’s about more than a career at Schreiber. Like a family, we care deeply about each other. We strive to foster an inclusive work environment where all our partners can thrive. We've increased our commitment to diversity and inclusion by creating an overarching Diversity and Inclusion Council, as well as resource groups for women, African Americans, Pride, Vets and more groups that give a voice to all of our partners.
