Our Company Name

grain harvesting in field

When we transitioned to being an independent company in 2021, we created a naming strategy and enlisted the help of our employees to create a name that would meet our objectives. There were hundreds of submissions, each with great appeal and meaning, but the one that rose to the top came from a Bakery Supervisor in Brantford, Canada, Alex Gillis.
Alex wrote, "As we aspire to be the best bakery in North America, what better name than Aspire to represent our desire to not only achieve our goals but exceed them. We aspire for greatness, and we will attain this with Integrity, Ownership, Customer Focus, Creativity and Care."

Our name truly reflects our values and our goals – we strive to be the best in baking and continually aspire to improve and grow. And Aspire Bakeries is the name to motivate us all – the possibilities are endless!
