Silberline celebrates 65 years

Congratulations to Silberline Manufacturing Co. Inc., a family-owned effect pigment manufacturer in Tamaqua, Pa., that is celebrating its 65th year in business. Lisa Jane Scheller, the third-generation president and CEO, hosted guests (including 30-year veteran employees) in an anniversary party at the headquarters. "Conducting business with integrity and adhering to a strong moral compass were always hallmarks of the company and it's an honor to carry on that responsibility," she said. Scheller credited the company's longevity to the core values championed by the company's founder, her grandfather, Ernest Scheller, Sr., and by her father, Chairman Ernest Scheller, Jr. The company is still based in tiny Tamaqua, but it's global in scope these days -- it has facilities in Indiana, Scotland, China, Mexico and Singapore.
