AIB, an internationally acclaimed third party audit service is headquartered in Manhattan Kansas and inspects facilities to ensure that products are acceptable to use in food packaging applications.
AIB International was 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." That basic theme is still central to all of the programs, products and services provided by AIB to baking and general food production industries around the globe.
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, food service and retail industries worldwide. The AIB association currently has more than 900 members in many countries, ranging from international food ingredient and food service companies to small, single-unit traditional and artisan retail bakeries.
