Flatbread baking launches its own industry association
The Tortilla Industry Association (TIA) announced the launch of the International Flatbreads Federation (IFF), a new association focused on the flatbread industry. The announcement was made during IBIE 2019, the tri-annual trade event and gathering of worldwide baking professionals. As a result of increasingly complex consumer dietary and regulatory demands, the flatbread segment has experienced tremendous growth over the past several years. To address manufacturing complexities, industry growth, and support those that produce flatbreads commercially, the International Flatbread Federation will provide the industry with a platform to exchange information, share best practices, expand business networks, and learn the latest in formulation advances and regulatory requirements.
IFF will operate in partnership with the Tortilla Industry Association (TIA), a 30-year-old leading non-profit that successfully represents the fastest growing sector of the baking industry, the tortilla segment of the flatbread industry. TIA has been known for providing the industry with resources, synergies and infrastructure. It will provide the same support for those whose businesses are focused on flatbread manufacturing through the newly formed IFF.
