Ian Schenkel of Newport Beach is a mechanical engineer turned entrepreneur with more than thirty years of experience in the food industry. Based in Newport Beach, California, he has built a career that brings together technical expertise and business knowledge. Over the years, his work has spanned machinery design, large-scale food manufacturing, private labeling, and product development. He is best known as the founder of a food manufacturing company that has remained successful for more than three decades despite the many challenges of a competitive marketplace.

His career began with a degree in mechanical engineering, which gave him the ability to understand systems and find ways to improve them. In the early part of his professional life, he focused on designing and building machinery, skills that later became essential when he moved into food production. Unlike many who start businesses with only a marketing idea, he entered the industry with a technical foundation. Ian Schenkel Haliburton understood the importance of reliable equipment and how small efficiencies in production could build into meaningful results over time.

Before starting his own company, he worked in several parts of the food business. Through private labeling, he gained an understanding of how to maintain brand identity while meeting the demands of large-scale production. Schenkel also developed expertise in specialized areas such as frozen vegetables and fire roasting. When he decided to establish his own company, he knew the risks involved. Margins were often tight, supply chains were complex, and consumer preferences shifted quickly. Still, he focused on creating a business model that could adapt while remaining committed to quality.

That approach shaped the long-term success of the company. It expanded into new opportunities, refined operations, and built a reputation for consistency. His leadership has always centered on key principles: quality control, efficiency in operations, adaptability, and team development. Ian has invested in training and worked to build a culture where employees feel valued, believing that the strength of the company rests with its people.

His leadership style reflects a balance of technical knowledge and strategic vision. He uses both data and long experience while also listening to his team and keeping attention on long-term goals. Outside of business, he enjoys boating and golf, both of which require patience and adaptability. His connection to Haliburton also provides balance and perspective away from daily responsibilities.

Over more than three decades, he has seen shifts in markets, consumer behavior, and technology. What he has learned is that lasting success comes not from one breakthrough but from consistent improvements made over time. With 33 years in business, his company stands as proof of endurance, adaptability, and trust built with employees, partners, and customers. From his early years as an engineer to his long-standing role as an entrepreneur, Ian Schenkel continues to demonstrate that quality, efficiency, and persistence are the foundation of lasting success.
