Corporate Overview

    Our Business Model

    In 1976, two of the eleven children in the Shepard family set out to build a business based on a simple idea; to meet the cleaning and sanitation needs of the dairy industry with superior specialty chemical products and superior application consulting services. That simple formula, meeting customer needs with superior products and services, worked then and it continues to work today. As a result, Shepard Bros., Inc. has grown dramatically from its dairy industry roots to become a premier supplier of custom specialty chemicals and services to a wide array of industries and markets throughout the United States.
