Given the size of the baking industry, regulations and legislation from federal and state governments disproportionately affect ABA Members.

ABA POSITIVELY IMPACTS OUR MEMBERS' BUSINESSES

ABA’s Members span from small family bakeries to some of the largest food manufacturers in the world. Each of our Members works tirelessly to nourish their communities and America's families. The American Bakers Association serves our Members, providing tools to create an environment where they can do what they do best.

The cost of certain regulations and legislation stifles both innovation and the ability for our Members to create more and higher-paying jobs. Whether it is misguided regulations or dubious taxes and fees, ABA works to protect Members’ bottom line.

Leading Positive Change

The baking industry’s highly specific business needs require a trusted, experienced partner such as ABA to lead positive change. As the only national and state trade association specific to this industry, ABA is the go-to resource for our Members to ensure they have the tools to grow their businesses.
