Who are we?
AIB International is a corporation founded by
the North American wholesale and retail baking industries in 1919 as a technology transfer
center for bakers and food processors. The original mission of the organization was to
"put science to work for the baker," and that basic theme is still central to
all of the programs, products, and services provided by AIB to baking and general food
production industries worldwide.
Although AIB's history has been traditionally linked with North American wholesale
and retail baking, the Institute currently serves many segments of the food processing,
distribution, foodservice, and retail industries worldwide. Today's AIB is well-positioned
in the following areas:
AIB's staff includes experts in the fields of baking
production; research related to experimental baking, cereal science, and nutrition; food safety and
hygiene; occupational safety; and maintenance engineering.
AIB is headquartered in Manhattan, Kansas, home
of Kansas State University and one of the major centers
for wheat and related grain product research and development in the entire world. The
Institute works closely with local grain science and trade organizations, and maintains
links and working relationships with many other food production and equipment, food
safety, trade development, and food legislation groups and university food science
research programs both in the United States and abroad.
The AIB association currently has more than 900 members in many countries,
ranging from international food ingredient and foodservice companies to small
single-unit traditional and artisan retail bakeries.
