At its iba stand in 2023, American Pan from Bundy Baking Solutions is preparing to exhibit a range of innovative baking solutions and new developments. “We are proud to showcase our latest advancements in baking technology, including our state-of-the-art baking pans, trays, and related equipment. We will also highlight our commitment to sustainability by presenting eco-friendly solutions and our efforts to reduce environmental impact within the baking industry,” Jason Bowman – President, American Pan Europe & MENA, tells us. Since the last iba edition, the company has expanded by welcoming two new additions to the Bundy Baking Solutions group – Runex and Turbel – which not only broadened its expertise but has also allowed the company to establish facilities in Sweden, Germany and Turkey.
American Pan is planning live product showcases and focused presentations (details to follow on www.bakingbiscuit.com as they become available). “Our goal is to provide visitors with a unique opportunity to immerse themselves in our innovative products, gain insights into the latest baking advancements, and interact with our knowledgeable staff,” Bowman adds, anticipating a “truly memorable” iba ‘23.
The company is investing in cutting-edge materials and coatings that improve the performance and lifespan of its baking pans while reducing energy costs at the bakeries. “Our main R&D priorities revolve around developing technologies that enable bakers to streamline their operations, reduce production costs, and enhance output without compromising on product quality,” he explains.
