Mondelēz International celebrates 130th anniversary of Toledo's Biscuit Flour Mill
Milestone honored with recognition from Ohio congressional, state officials.
Mondelēz International, Inc. marked the 130th anniversary of its Biscuit Flour Mill in Toledo, Ohio with a ceremony and day-long celebration on Saturday, October 8, which included local employees, local and state elected officials, and other honored guests from the company and the local community.
With more than a century and a quarter of ongoing milling operations, the company’s Toledo Flour Mill is the largest dedicated soft-wheat mill in North America today, with one of the largest grain storage capacities at 5.5 million bushels of wheat. The Mill first began operations in 1892, when Benjamin Harrison was president of the U.S., and became part of the National Biscuit Company (Nabisco) in 1926.
The Toledo Mill has made many significant contributions to the local economy and the grain milling industry in general, such as when scientists working at the Mill developed flour analysis tools that went on to become industry standards. Today, flour from the Toledo Mill is shipped to the Company’s bakeries across North America, where it is used to make many of its snacks, including Oreo and Chips Ahoy! cookies and Ritz crackers.
