The Schreiber story: 16 ounces to the pound Our company was founded in 1945 when L.D. Schreiber, a butter and egg businessman from Chicago, partnered with Merlin G. Bush and Daniel David Nusbaum to form the L.D. Schreiber Cheese Company in Green Bay, Wisconsin. From day one, the company followed the “16 ounces to the pound” philosophy. One pound of cheese would weigh just that – one pound. Not more. Not less. Back in 1945, that wasn’t always the case with other companies, but being honest and trustworthy was important to our founders. They were right, and today we still use “16 ounces to the pound” as shorthand for two cornerstones of our character: unquestionable integrity and an ongoing commitment to quality. While we’ve grown in size and capabilities in the past seven decades, our values are the same, and we don’t intend to change. Key dates in our history 1945 Company founded. 1962 L.D.
