OUR HISTORY
Starting a Business
Soon after his arrival in the U.S., the founder of Bakers Authority, Moses, wanted to get to work and establish what would become a cornerstone of the baking industry. Having purchased a hand cart, he realized that he could make a little more money by acting as a middleman, buying and selling products. Moses built strong relationships with sugar and flour salesmen, allowing him to purchase directly from suppliers and sell to bakeries he had previously delivered to.
Bakers Authority Background
David Rosen, born in Poland, served in the Polish Cavalry during World War II. When he saw his friends being slaughtered by German tanks, he realized Poland had no chance against Germany. He fled to France to continue the fight. When the French line fell, he helped smuggle Jews from France to Spain and Portugal, where they could board boats to escape Europe. Eventually, he secured passage to the U.S. with help from his sister, who obtained a visa for him. And then he joined the US Army on time to storm the beaches of Normandy and continue on to victory over the Nazi's.
Growth
As the years went by, the company experienced growth in local established communities. Recognizing the potential for growth, Bakers Authority expanded our offerings into the Hispanic and Italian markets. This move was pivotal in the company’s timeline, as it laid the foundation for the next generation to come on board.
Stuart Takes Over
Following Bakers Authority's expansion into the Hispanic and Italian markets, Stuart, who had spent years learning the intricacies of the baking supply industry, took over as CEO. With his deep industry knowledge and extensive network of contacts, he oversaw the relocation to the company's largest warehouse yet, a 45,000-square-foot facility in Brooklyn. At Bakers Authority, Stuart introduced new product categories, including foodservice items, paper goods, and an expanded range of freezer products. As Bakers Authority continued to grow and diversify our offerings, Stuart began preparing the next generation to help manage New York City's largest bakery supply company.
4th Generation
Out of Stuart and Judy’s three children, the two younger kids, Daniel and Jeremy, joined Bakers Authority to help their father run operations as Co-CEOs, with Stuart becoming Chairman. With the addition of Daniel and Jeremy, Bakers Authority experienced exponential growth in both sales and our catalog of products. This expansion of products set the foundation for the Bakers Authority of today.
Entering the 21st Century
As the years progressed and the internet became the new storefront, the seismic shift in how people did their shopping gave birth to the e-commerce industry and ultimately the creation of Bakers Authority's online presence. Bakers Authority embraced e-commerce to reach more clients while maintaining our commitment to quality and service.
