Local Cincinnati Company Celebrates 125 Years as Leading Midwest Bakery
Klosterman Bread Marks Its 125th Year Serving Midwest Consumers as a Family-Owned Company
CINCINNATI, OH – Klosterman Baking Company, a family-owned bakery headquartered in Cincinnati, celebrates its 125th anniversary this year. Under the leadership of Kim Klosterman, Chairman and CEO, and Chip Klosterman, President, Klosterman Baking Company has grown to be a reliable wholesale bread supplier for restaurants, schools, health care service providers and grocery stores. Since the company’s founding in 1892, quality baked goods and commitment to customers has remained the heart of their business.
As a fourth generation family-owned and operated business, Klosterman Baking Company has truly defined what it means to put the customer first. “After 125 years in this industry we know it’s about so much more than just baking bread, it’s about the relationships you have with your customers,” says Kim Klosterman, Chairman and CEO. “Beyond being a reliable supplier of quality products, we want to be a trusted resource and valued partner for the long term. Our goal isn’t just to grow our own business, but that of our customers. Helping them achieve their goals is a true win for us.”
The company’s commitment to 100% customer satisfaction is reinforced with the launch of their organic bread line, earlier this year. “We are proud of our diverse product catalog and our organic line is another way, we’re bringing additional value to our customers.” Even with over 400 varieties of bread, buns, rolls, and flatbread options, one of the most unique attributes of this bakery is their readiness for product development. They work directly with chefs, research and development and menu innovation teams to customize items to fit desired specifications.
Although Klosterman continues to embrace their Cincinnati roots, products are available for both fresh delivery in select regions and frozen distribution nationwide for their customers’ convenience. Today, Klosterman’s fresh bread delivery has expanded beyond Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana and now includes Nashville, Tennessee and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Partnerships with frozen food service distributers continue to broaden delivery options available to their customers.
