Cortex District Member AB Mauri Drives Innovative Baking Solutions

The Midwest is traditionally known as America’s breadbasket, but today, that legacy extends far beyond the region’s rich history of grain production and milling. In the heart of St. Louis, one of the world’s largest producers of yeast is driving innovation at bakeries across the country through its cutting-edge baking and fermentation technology.

If the name AB Mauri doesn’t ring a bell, you’re more than likely familiar with its signature product, Fleischmann’s Yeast, which has been a baking staple in grocery stores across the country for generations. A division of Associated British Foods, AB Mauri is a global baking technology company that helps produce many of the baked goods we eat every day, from sandwich bread to tortillas to delivery pizza. Outside of the Fleischmann’s brand, AB Mauri — whose North American headquarters are located in St. Louis — is a primarily B2B company, manufacturing baking ingredients and technical solutions such as baking powders, baking sodas, dough conditioners, malts, syrups, mold inhibitors, and release agents for large-scale baking companies across the country.
