Schreiber Foods was founded in 1945 when L.D. Schreiber, in partnership with Merlin G. Bush and Daniel D. Nusbaum, started the L.D. Schreiber Cheese Company with its original plant in Green Bay, Wisconsin. In 1950, Schreiber Foods opened a second cheese plant in Carthage, Missouri. Schreiber added two more plants in the 1970s in Logan, Utah, and Monett, Missouri. In 2000, Schreiber purchased the Beatrice Foods plant in Waukesha, Wisconsin. It closed that plant employing 170 in 2002. Schreiber purchased Pinnacle Cheese in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, in 2000. It closed the plant employing 100 in 2003. Schreiber purchased Raskas Foods in St. Louis, Missouri, in 2002. It closed the St Louis plant employing 220 in 2005, while maintaining plants in Texas and Pennsylvania.[ citation needed ]

By the end of 2000, six more were added to include additional operations in Missouri, Arizona and Wisconsin. Since then, they've expanded to include domestic plants in Pennsylvania, Texas, California and Utah, in addition to international operations in Austria, Brazil, France, Germany, India, Mexico, Portugal, Spain, Bulgaria, Czech Republic and Slovakia.[ citation needed ]

In 1962, Schreiber sold the cheese operation to 13 employees, including Bush and Nusbaum. As the company began to expand into products other than cheese, the L.D. Schreiber Company changed its name to Schreiber Foods Inc. in 1980. Then in 1999, Schreiber created an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP), turning ownership of the company over to all of its employees, or partners.[ citation needed ]
