Belleville has not only had its local bakeries, but also firms producing items used in
baking. The Thomson Machine Company, a manufacturer of bakery equipment, moved
from Kearny to Belleville in 1990.

The National Grain Yeast Corporation, once located on Mill Street, began in 1927. The
management of this maker of baker's compressed yeast included two sons of President
Franklin Delano Roosevelt, James and Franklin D. Roosevelt, Jr.
