Live in Our Community: Founders’ Pointe Subdivision
Sargento is one of 4 Sheboygan County Wisconsin companies that invested $2 million to create entry-level housing for its workforce or those relocating to the area. Each home in Founders' Pointe has three bedrooms, two baths, a two-car garage, and a full basement and sells for under $250,000.
We’re proud of the culture we’ve built—one where people feel safe, valued, and supported to thrive. That’s how we’ve done it, and that’s how we’ll keep doing it. But don’t take it from use. Take it from these employees who can tell you what a great experience is work here.
We may have made revolutionary strides in the cheese industry, but our proudest achievement is the culture we’ve built—one rooted in connection, respect, and support. From day one, you’ll feel it: a workplace where voices are heard, perspectives are valued, and people genuinely care about one another. Visit Our Culture to find out how we are creating space to celebrate the wins - together. Our culture isn't just something we talk about; it's something we live every day.
