RJ Schinner is celebrating its 75th anniversary, honoring a journey that began in 1951 as a small Wisconsin redistribution company and has now grown into the nation’s largest independent redistributor of foodservice, paper, and janitorial supplies.
Still family-owned and now led by third-generation CEO Ken Schinner, with the fourth generation actively involved in the business, the company has evolved into a nationwide operation with 21 locations, a fleet of 150 trucks on the road each day, and nearly 700 employees, all while maintaining steady year-over-year growth.
As the industry continues to change, RJ Schinner’s story remains distinctive: a company grounded in long-term vision, operational flexibility, and a steadfast commitment to reliably serving its customers.
