King Arthur Flour
Why every bag counts
Making naturally pure and consistent flour for over 200 years is no easy task, but we take such pride in our flour that we wouldn’t have it any other way. We’re motivated by knowing that every day, people across the country count on our flour—us—to make their baking the best it can be. And as an employee-owned company, that’s a responsibility every single one of us takes very seriously. See what makes us great; learn about our company, our people, our town.
There are four major qualities that set us apart from our larger competitors that enable us to outpace them, the industry, and the overall economy.
- First, we have an earned respect. There is a sense that our enterprise is special in what it stands for, what it does, and how we do it. This shows itself in the uncommon efforts and contributions - not only from those who work here, but also those we work with.
- Second, we have an honest enthusiasm that spills over to those with whom we do business - from current and prospective employees, to customers and suppliers.
- Third, we have a culture of inclusiveness. We communicate just about everything to everyone in our organization, empowering them as partners in our endeavor. Strategies, plans, ambitions, and challenges aren't restricted to small circles behind closed doors - they're known, understood, and appreciated throughout our company.
- Fourth, making money in itself is not our highest priority. We view profit and wealth-creation as inevitable by-products of doing things well.
