About The Company
At RJ Schinner Redistribution, we specialize in identifying opportunities and formulating solutions. When established in 1951 by Robert J. Schinner Sr., the goal of RJ Schinner as a company was to bridge the gap between large manufacturers and smaller distributors, merging the buying power of a large company with the accommodating customer service of an independent business. Those core values still drive us to excellence after over 70 years in business as we demonstrate our commitment to helping businesses succeed in an increasingly competitive marketplace. As one of the nation’s largest independent redistributors, we offer an array of options designed to streamline inventory control with maximum speed, efficiency, and convenience. Through our strong position in the industry, we’re able to increase turnover ratio by allowing companies to order in quantities that work for them and arrive when needed, while never having to worry about out-of-stock situations. RJ Schinner has a dedicated sales team, friendly customer service, and a dynamic in-house marketing team, all working together to help businesses reach their goals. With 21 branches nationwide, our dedicated delivery fleet ensures the timely arrival of almost 12,000 SKU’s of janitorial/sanitation, foodservice, and paper products. With high quality national brands as well as Exclusive Brands, we carry products that fit many budgets and needs.
About the Role

Build your career with RJ Schinner, a growing, family-owned wholesale redistributor with over 70 years of success. We have 20 distribution centers throughout the US, 600+ employees, and provide disposable paper, cleaning, and food service packaging products to distributors in 48 states. 


Headquartered in Menomonee Falls, WI, RJ Schinner is a well-established company started in 1951. RJ Schinner currently ranks as the 47th most successful private company on Deloitte’s 2022 Wisconsin 75 and has also been recognized through BizTimes’ Future 50 Program as one of the fastest growing privately-owned companies in southeastern Wisconsin.
