The customer
Schreiber Foods is a $7.5 billion, employee-owned global leader in dairy products, including cream cheese, natural and processed cheese, yogurt, beverages, and specialty items. Operating across North America, Europe, Latin America, Asia, and Africa with more than 10,000 partners, the company manages complex supply chain and finance operations at a global scale.
