Back in 1851, a pioneering Carl Hilmar Guenther crossed the Atlantic Ocean to begin a new life in the United States. Three years later, with both his milling experiences and dedication, he started what is now a multifaceted company with locations across the United States. We produce the finest flours, value-added dry mixes, and frozen doughs for both the retail and foodservice trades, and, for foodservice exclusively, we produce specialized baked products.

After so many years of growth and change, two things remain unchanged: the Guenther family ownership of the company and our devotion to the highest quality standards.
