“ We grew out of our old facility a long time ago; it wasn’ t really designed to be a headquarters. This company’ s been around for 130 years, and we decided that, as we were rebranding, it was time to invest in a new space. We moved 20 miles away, but retained our entire corporate support staff and had an incredibly smooth transition overall. Our partner, Sixteen Bricks, has taken over our former facility in Cincinnati, Ohio, and converted it into an artisan bakery. We’ re excited that our former location is still a bakery managed by a wonderful team.”
After 130 years of bakery innovation and excellence, this move signifies a new chapter in Klosterman’ s journey. Encompassing over 200,000 square feet, the state-of-the-art facility will allow the company greater room to grow, building upon its previous legacies to maintain its success and expand into new endeavors. Klosterman’ s new home, however, includes one particularly distinctive feature.“ When we built our new headquarters, we also built an entryway into the downstairs bakery for our customers and employees. The whole interior of the building was painted white, and we wanted to brighten it up. We really wanted something to pay our respects to 130 years of Klosterman baking heritage and the opportunity we have to carry on that legacy today,” Dale explains.“ We reached out to a local artist named Ben Harrison. He visited the bakery and spent time taking photos and videos, really understanding what we do. It was a three-week project to create a bespoke artwork, and now so many of our visitors will have their picture taken with it, because it’ s a real tribute to the bakery industry. It looks gorgeous.”
