Through this partnership, Ascendion will equip Schreiber\u2019s capability centres with AI-native technology to fuel sustainable growth and accelerate innovation across more than 40 locations on five continents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a trusted food and beverage supplier to the world\u2019s leading retailers, restaurants, distributors and food manufacturers, Schreiber\u2019s products feed families in more than 95 countries and its global IT capability centres serve more than 10,000 employee-partners worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cTo fuel Schreiber\u2019s next era of rapid growth, we are taking a bold, transformational leap forward in how we operate and serve our customers,\u201d said Trevor Farrell, President of Schreiber Foods. \u201cBy leaning into next-generation, Agentic AI with Ascendion, we are reinforcing the very foundation of what our customers rely on us for: world-class quality, safety and service. This technology will empower our employee-partners, accelerate our innovation and allow us to deliver even greater impact at scale.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Through the partnership, AI agents will help Schreiber and Ascendion teams get quality and food safety signals to decision-makers faster, modernise the ERP environment and give regional teams a more unified way to collaborate. Over time, repetitive, high-volume technology work will increasingly be performed by AI agents, freeing Schreiber\u2019s engineers and analysts to focus on work that requires human judgement and creativity. Ascendion\u2019s proprietary Engineering to the Power of AI method and tools will balance work across people and AI to ensure security, privacy, compliance and ethical alignment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For Ascendion, the engagement reflects what Chief Executive Officer Karthik Krishnamurthy described as a special kind of responsibility. \u201cSchreiber Foods\u2019 mission is one of the most consequential out there. We are honoured to deploy technology that helps Schreiber bring food to people all over the world,\u201d Krishnamurthy said. \u201cSchreiber leaders recognise the impact that can be unlocked by AI-native operations across their global network. It\u2019s a bold vision built on a powerful foundation of success and we\u2019re thrilled to bring the full power of AI to this partnership.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Technology is at the core of the partnership. Schreiber has deployed multiple AI tools, and the Ascendion partnership builds on that foundation. Ascendion will leverage AAVA, its proprietary agentic AI platform, to accelerate AI across capability centre workflows, drive accelerated decisions on the plant floor, provide stronger traceability across geographies and lower the technology cost base while increasing operational resilience for the next phase of growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAI is a significant driver of transformation, but its real strength lies in how it empowers our people,\u201d said Sri Kantamneni, Executive Vice President, Chief Information and Digital Officer at Schreiber Foods. \u201cThrough this strategic collaboration with Ascendion, we\u2019re equipping our capability centres with AI-native tools that elevate our internal service and operational standards. By giving our employee-partners better, smarter tools to work with, we enable them to focus less on manual processes and more on driving customer success and accelerating our growth.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re accountable for outcomes, not effort,\u201d said Dharam Gurbani, Chief Growth Officer at Ascendion. \u201cWhat changes for Schreiber Foods\u2019 plants, customers and consumers is the only scorecard that matters. Our partnership will re-set expectations for velocity, efficiency and operational excellence across capability centres in the United States, Mexico, India, Spain and Poland. We are grateful for the trust Schreiber is putting in Ascendion and we\u2019re excited to accelerate toward the future.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Schreiber Foods and Ascendion have announced a multi-year strategic partnership to transform Schreiber\u2019s global operations and software development using Agentic AI, advancing the company\u2019s vision to do good through food.
