211 Woodlawn Avenue • Norwalk, OH 44857 • 419-663-6432 HOME PRODUCTS ABOUT AFFILIATES CAREERS CONTACT NEWS about Our Bakery In order to understand how we do business here at New Horizons Baking Company, you should understand who we are. We are more than a baking company, rather we are a team of people with years of experience who are working together to provide our customers with the only finest products. We are committed to delivering high quality baked goods for great prices, and we pair this with our remarkable customer service. There is no doubt that our top priority is to treat others the way we want to be treated and to provide only the best for our customers, employees, and community. New Horizons has a robust history of excellence, and a strong value system that we live by. We have been operating in the Midwest since 1967, and while we have made great strides in our methods and innovation since then, our beliefs and commitment to quality have remained the same. In fact, these principles encompass all aspects of the company. We make every one of our decisions with our core values in mind. From our sustainability initiatives, to our people, New Horizons' standards of integrity, honesty, and sound judgement apply to more than just our baked goods. Ultimately, these values are the driving force behind our strong commitment to quality. Supplying products that are anything short of superior quality, simply does not align with who we are or what we believe.
