From its home base in Zaandam, Lika Bakery shows its excitement and skill in product innovation. Its new, award-winning creations are proof, joining an inviting product portfolio.
Historic windmills, picturesque canals and traditional Dutch architecture: Zaandam is a beautiful city in the Netherlands. It made such an impression on Monet during his months-long stay there that it inspired several paintings. It’s not only its beauty that makes Zaandam a popular destination among tourists; the town is also renowned for its delightful local cuisine. Lika Bakery proudly contributes to the region’s flavorful culinary offers, coming from the town known as ‘the Dutch true food capital’, thanks to its history and diversity in the food industry. The business founded in 2016 thrives on experimenting and baking. From ideas to fully realized products, Lika Bakery is getting inspiration from cultures all over the world to combine traditions and innovations, for its flatbreads, world breads and buns. Products from Lika Bakery are sold all over Europe, in retail and foodservice.
Their reach and curiosity do not stop there: in March, Lika’s team and ideas traveled to Japan, where they took part in Foodex 2024, as a part of the Dutch pavilion of exhibitors. Its trade show travel agenda also included PLMA and SIAL.
