2009 Corporate Profile Special Advertising Section BIA Cordon Bleu, Inc. COMPANY HISTORY BIA Cordon Bleu, Inc. is a privately held company that has been in business since 1952. At the time of the company’s founding, many items used in gourmet French cuisine were unavailable in the United States. Monsieur Jean Mouraille, the company’s founder, a French engineer who had fallen in love with California, made frequent trips to France to visit factories and bring back the best of French ovenproof porcelain. Since its founding, the company has changed ownership twice. Each owner expanded the company and further carved out its niche in the marketplace. In addition to our Sales/Marketing office in South San Francisco and warehouse in Galt, Calif., BIA also has a showroom and offices in New York and Hong Kong. Our award-winning in-house art department can aid in shape, decal and packaging development. Members of our Hong Kong and Mainland China office staff work full-time with our factories to constantly source and manufacture the best products possible.
