Employee-Owned King Arthur Flour Turns 230



"Try it once, trust it always"  
"Shaped by hand, powered by heart"  
"Baking with joy since 1790"

These are just a few of the sayings King Arthur Flour posts on the website.They are an employee-owned company whose stated mission is "to be the ultimate resource and inspiration in the kitchen, to inspire connections and community through baking, and to use our business as a force for good." 

In 2007 they became a B Corp, saying this reflects their commitment to all stakeholders - customers, business partners, community and the natural environment. "After all, healthy relationships with all of these stakeholders will enable our centuries-old business to continue toward our mission for another 200 years."  You would be hard-pressed to find a company more reflective of the longevity factors uncovered in my research on 100-year-old companies.
