Rosen’s Baking Company, a Chicago staple and baker of Jewish hearth rye breads and variety rolls since 1909. Through the years, Alpha Baking has continued to grow with the acquisition of Kreamo Bakers in South Bend, Indiana in 1979, National Baking Company in Chicago, Illinois in 1997, and Natural Ovens Bakery in Manitowoc, Wisconsin in 2007. For decades, food industry leaders have called on Alpha Baking Company, Inc. to craft solutions to complex and unique baking projects.
