Schmidt Baking

Highly Engaged Employees

Founded in 1886 by Peter and Elizabeth Schmidt, Schmidt Baking began in Baltimore, introducing premium labels like Blue Ribbon white and Old Tyme bread and rolls. It established a strong Mid-Atlantic presence with 13 branches and over 300 DSD routes. In 2004, H&S Bakery acquired Schmidt Baking, continuing a family legacy that started with a partnership in 1886. This integration added hearth-baked bread and rolls, reinforcing its "variety baker" reputation.

Schmidt Baking currently operates with a workforce of 500-1,000 employees across 396 locations, generating an annual revenue of $841.0M. This robust operational scale underpins its extensive distribution and product development efforts. The dedicated team is central to maintaining product excellence and expanding market presence.
