DUSTED: Hardacre - Founder

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 blends engineering knowledge with business practice. Over time, his work has included 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 continued to succeed for over three decades in a highly competitive market.

His professional path began with a degree in mechanical engineering, which provided him with the skills to understand complex systems and improve them. Early in his career, he designed and built machinery, an experience that later became essential when he entered the food business. Unlike many who began with a marketing concept, he brought technical knowledge into the industry. Ian Schenkel Haliburton understood that reliable equipment was critical to production and that small efficiencies, when multiplied over time, could have a significant impact on overall performance.

Before creating his own company, he worked in several areas of food manufacturing. Through private labeling, he learned how to preserve brand identity while meeting high production demands. Schenkel also developed experience with specific processes such as frozen vegetables and fire roasting. When he decided to start his own company, he knew the challenges would be significant. Margins in the industry were slim, supply chains were often complex, and consumer preferences shifted frequently. Even so, he focused on creating a model that could adapt while maintaining quality.

That vision has guided the company’s long-term success. Over the years, it expanded into new opportunities and refined its operations. His approach has always emphasized four fundamentals: quality control, operational efficiency, adaptability, and team development. He believed that a company’s strength lies in its people, and he dedicated time to training and building a culture where employees felt valued.

His leadership combines technical expertise with strategic decision-making. Ian relies on both data and experience while listening to his team and focusing on long-term goals. Outside of business, he enjoys boating and golf, which reflect patience and adaptability. His connection to Haliburton also provides perspective and balance beyond his daily responsibilities.

Through more than three decades, he has seen changes in technology, markets, and consumer behavior. What he has learned is that success is not the result of a single breakthrough but of steady improvements made over time. With 33 years in business, his company stands as proof of resilience, adaptability, and trust. From his early days as an engineer to his career as a long-standing entrepreneur, Ian Schenkel continues to show that quality, efficiency, and persistence are the proper foundations of lasting success.
