ST. LOUIS; FARGO, ND – Dakota Specialty Milling and Dakota Blenders have jointly rebranded as DakotaMB to better reflect the company’s growing and diversifying customer base. The name was developed to recognize the company’s history in the baking and milling industries, while also reflecting its current customer base, which includes manufacturers across the food industry.
“When renaming the company, we wanted to pay respect to where we’re from (North Dakota) and our core business (Milling & Blending) in the baking and snack food industry,” said Peter Matthaei, DakotaMB’s CEO. “However, the name DakotaMB doesn’t limit us into a specific category as we now work with countless manufacturers across the food industry on everything from plant-based foods to coatings.”
Traditionally, Dakota Specialty Milling served the bread and snack industry with value-added grains, toasted toppings and multi-grain blends, and Dakota Blenders served the industry with functional mixes and bases for cakes, doughnuts, muffins and other bakery items. The unified DakotaMB name allows the brand to better serve its baking industry customers who make both baked good varieties.
“As the baking industry continues to consolidate, it made sense for us to join the companies together under one name to better serve our customers who make a variety of bakery items, from breads to doughnuts to ancient grain crackers,” said Tarrand Fiesel, DakotaMB’s VP of sales and marketing.
Despite the name change, DakotaMB will continue to be led by the current executive and management teams in Fargo, North Dakota, and St. Louis, Missouri.
