The Business of Baking is an Industry Service produced by a division of The RPIA Group
The RPIA Group was founded in 2001 by five bakers and a lot of their friends. The five met through the Retail Bakers of America National Trade Group (RBA) and as they moved through the ranks, they became friends that enjoyed working together. Looking for the next opportunity to work together, The RPIA Group was formed.
