Schier is the leading manufacturer of grease interceptors for commercial kitchens in the United States. While you may have never heard our name, odds are great that you've walked over the top of one of our products—probably today. Over the last 20 years, we have earned the reputation as the product and knowledge leader in our field.
US sewers are aging poorly, and kitchen waste (food scraps and grease) is the leading cause of sewer problems: clogs, overflows, and capacity reduction. The resulting maintenance and repair costs taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars each year. Schier takes a unique and comprehensive approach to minimize this problem, and our dual commitment to environmental stewardship and fiscal prudence goes hand-in-hand. By blocking food waste from the sewer and preventing damage, we not only extend the life of sewers and save taxpayers tens of millions of dollars annually but also contribute to a healthier and cleaner environment.
Our focus is the kitchen waste market, but our purpose is service to people—specifically our employees. Employees that are respected and taken care of are better equipped, emotionally and financially, to be of service to their own families, communities, and Schier’s customers. By serving one another, we hope to have an exponentially good impact on the world.
We are thorough in the consideration and design of our jobs so that they are challenging, stable, and directly connected to company success. Our compensation approach is informed by our employee-service focus, and balances time off, pace, pay, and benefits, including the unique wealth-building opportunity of our 100% ESOP structure. Our managers provide a transparent and information-rich environment that encourages employees to be more and more self-directed. The result is a culture that is found on the best teams—undramatic, good-natured, and highly successful.
