    Shearer Perfection Has Its Rewards

    Shearer's products and Shearer's people have the company commitment to Shearer Perfection in common. This is no coincidence. The dedication to excellence in the snack foods produced under the Shearer's Foods portfolio of brands, as well as for our contract and private label customers, results from an excellence in choosing, nurturing, and recognizing the people who embody that dedication.

    It has always been the goal of Shearer's to produce the best snacks anywhere. With recognition by highly respected national culinary organizations such as Gold Medal Awards from the American Taste Institute of San Francisco and Superior Product Awards from Food Distribution magazine of Boca Raton, it can be truly stated that Shearer's makes the best potato chips from coast to coast!

    Happy people make snacks that make people happy. And Shearer's has been consistently judged as one of the best companies for which to work in Northeast Ohio. Ten consecutive years of winning the coveted NorthCoast 99 Award by the Employer's Resource Council was honor aplenty, as Shearer's has been one of only three companies to win the award all ten years of its existence; becoming the first company in the history of the event to receive two category awards in one year and the first Legacy Award winner makes it even more special.

    The Weatherhead 100 Award recognized Shearer's as one of the fastest growing firms in Northeast Ohio while The Team NEO Success Award honored Shearer's as a top growth and performance company in the area. Other recent honors have included Gordon Food Service's Cornerstone Partner Award for First Place in the Vendor Involvement Process (VIP); multiple Pillar Awards by Smart Business magazine for the Community Service efforts of Shearer's Caring and Sharing Committee; "Proof Not Promises" and "Return on Environment" Awards from General Electric's Water and Process Technologies Division for reducing operating costs and meeting environmental objectives.

    Though the receipt of awards, the lists of honors, and the recognition of success both within the snack food industry and across Shearer's Northeast Ohio business landscape might seem challenging to keep current, you will easily find all that is pertinent to Shearer's awards below.
