ABA's 125th Anniversary

In 2022, we celebrate ABA's Members, our association's 125th Anniversary, and the bright future of the baking community.

Founded in 1897, the American Bakers Association has evolved through the years into the ABA you know today, advocating on behalf of one of the largest food manufacturing sectors.

In addition to celebrating ABA's 125th Anniversary in 2022, we are also celebrating the resilience of the industry and its accomplishments. Despite the pandemic and other challenges, nearly 800,000 people continue to create a rich and vibrant community.

“

There is a broader sense that the ABA is bigger than itself. We're part of the bigger food community. We're part of the bigger business community.
