“Put yourself in customers’ shoes”

The first Lesaffre Baking Center™ was opened 50 years ago, as a place where its specialists could not only put themselves in their customers’ shoes to understand their experiences – from baker to baker, but also roll up their sleeves and bake together to find product and process improvements. Since then, it has become a network of
52 Baking Center™ facilities (and counting), busy baking with manufacturers all over the world, from craft and industrial bakers to baking equipment makers and millers.
