Schwebel Baking Company Will Liquidate After 120 Years in Business

The 120-year-old bakery said aging facilities, labor costs and weak demand left it unable to find a buyer or new investment.

  • The historic Schwebel Baking Company, a Mahoning Valley institution founded in 1906, announced Wednesday it will wind down operations and initiate liquidation following the Fourth of July holiday.
  • Management cited "operational and financial constraints," including aging manufacturing facilities, costly labor contracts, and shifting consumer demand for traditional bread products, as key factors behind the decision.
  • After 120 years of operation, Schwebel failed to find a buyer or investment source despite "comprehensive efforts" to secure financing and defer pension obligations.
  • BCTGM International Union, Local 19 represents the bakery's manufacturing and production workers; Dani Robbins, CEO of Lake to River, said the agency stands ready to assist the workforce.
  • The closure encompasses bakeries in Youngstown and Hebron, Ohio, alongside distribution centers serving customers across Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New York, with operations winding down throughout the summer.
