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.
