Reasons To Join RPIA

RPIA is a group of larger-sized baking businesses (sales 1 MM+) sharing quality information and methods, including direct access to our 118 members representing 850 storefronts through our private Google Group. Our shared information is $$ in a new form. We also provide Rebates and direct access from and to great companies – suppliers and manufacturers – connected to our industry. Join for the Rebates, stay for the relationships.

How does the RPIA Group work? The first step, of course, is becoming a member! After you join, you will gain access to exclusive rebates from RPIA-affiliated manufacturers. Rebates are not pricing contingent – you can use the rebates without changing, or even disclosing to us, your pricing.

In addition to the rebates, you also get access to our E-Groups. These groups help answer questions about the operation, planning, and execution. We can’t overstate the value of this community, whose members have a combined experience of several thousand years. You will have “next-door neighbors” all across the country. Have your eyes on a new piece of equipment? Talk to some bakers in the community who have experience with it! Or set up a visit so you can see it in action. These are the kinds of things our members do.

And we’ve yet to mention our annual meeting: a legendary three-day event. It is said that the savings, information, and connections made in those three days alone are worth $10-20k. We hope to see you there soon!
