QUINCY, Mass. — Bay State Milling is proud to announce it has been selected as a 2023 US Best Managed Company. Sponsored by Deloitte* Private and The Wall Street Journal, the program recognizes outstanding U.S. private companies and the achievements of their management teams.
The 2023 designees are U.S. private companies that have demonstrated excellence in strategic planning and execution, a commitment to their people and fostering a dynamic culture, as well as strong financials. Designees propelled their businesses forward and remained true to their purpose and values by investing in their people, creating advantage through digital transformation, taking measurable action on sustainability, and demonstrating their commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion.
“This award is a true testament to our company’s mission of creating a better food system through nutritious and sustainable food ingredients that are grown with purpose,” said Peter Levangie, President and CEO of Bay State Milling Company. “As the largest family-owned flour mill in the country, we feel a responsibility to create ingredients that provide unparalleled value to our growers, customers and consumers.”
Bay State Milling’s commitment to a better food system starts with the company’s portfolio of better-for-you ingredients, including HealthSense® High-Fiber Wheat Flour. The flour, which delivers 10x the amount of prebiotic fiber than traditional refined flour, recently earned an honorable mention for Fast Company’s 2023 World Changing Ideas. As a gut-healthy alternative to traditional flour, HealthSense® High-Fiber Wheat Flour delivers the goodness of fiber to the everyday foods consumers know and love.
Applicants are evaluated and selected by a panel of external judges focused on assessing hallmarks of excellence in four key areas: strategy, ability to execute, corporate culture and governance/financial performance. They join a global ecosystem of honorees from more than 46 countries recognized by the Best Managed Companies program.
