Inland Empire Milling Co., Inc was founded in 1919 by William and Ernest Schauble. For over 40 years Inland Empire Milling Co operating as a flour mill, provided regional customers and customers in Eastern Asia with wholesome refined flour from wheat produced in the Pacific Northwest. Our family business has changed quite a bit since then, but the name, family, and approach to business remains the same. We continue to provide quality products, as well as grain marketing assistance and crop input advice with small town family values and friendly service. Our Business Our mission adopted in 1919 has never changed: Provide our customers with quality that exceeds their expectations, delivery that meets their specific and unique needs, and at a price that's competitive with other suppliers' product., Ernest Schauble, founder. Throughout our long history, the Schauble family has never lost sight of our mission statement. This attention to detail has enabled us to differentiate ourselves from the large mass suppliers. Our customers know where their products were produced, who managed the crop throughout its production lifecycle, and who handled and shipped the agricultural commodities before arriving at their door. Albert Schauble/Director: Began working at Inland Empire Milling Co., Inc as a child for his father, Ernest Schauble and Grandfather William Schauble. In the early days, Albert helped hand sew flour sacks, stack flour bags into boxcars and other high labor jobs. Albert quickly proved his worth was much better utilized in the office, where he handled contracting and agricultural procurements from the local farmers. Albert still remains active in the day to day activities of the company. He trades futures and options to manage the financial risk of commodity inventory as well as provides valuable insight into the commodity markets in general. Without the devotion and commitment of over 50 years to our family company, we would not be as successful as we are today. Jerry Schauble/ President: Graduated from Washington State University in 1983. Jerry has been actively involved with the family business for over 27 years. His knowledge of various wheat varieties enables Inland Empire Milling Co., Inc tailor our products to best suit our customers' needs.
