With its portfolio of companies, the WP BAKERYGROUP covers every step of the baking process with dedicated
and interconnected equipment. Jürgen Horstmann – owner, Horstmann Group, and Carola Landhäuser –
WP BAKERYGROUP CEO, share the insights of leading a diverse group of companies and looking beyond individual production steps when designing solutions, to a ‘think process’ big-picture that shapes innovation in baking.
MULTIVAC Group acquired an 80% majority stake in Italianpack S.p.A., a manufacturer of automatic and semi-automatic packaging machines headquartered in Como, Italy. Italianpack will be incorporated into the MULTIVAC organization as a new business unit under the leadership of Tomaso Petrini, CEO of Italianpack.
Making its debut on the best stage for a first impression, at iba, the new, compact IMPRESSA bread line developed by FRITSCH for industrial production manages to save 20% of the floor space – about 5 m. This was accomplished, in part, by new sheeting technology incorporated in the revised Soft Dough Sheeter (SDS) and the new Soft Dough Roller (SDR).
A new AI image-recognition service is unveiled at iba, which tracks in-store patisserie and bakery shelf performances in real-time. AI specialist MarketLab, in partnership with Puratos, developed Spotimize to help with shelf management, lower waste and improve the customer’s experience. During its current startup phase, the Spotimize service will be available to a limited number of customers in selected countries.
For process consistency, FRITSCH equipped the IMPRESSA bread (and all its industrial lines) with a new, output-based line control. How does it work?
Packaging affects the state of the product throughout the supply chain. Identifying the best packaging process and materials ensures all types of baked goods make it from plant to table, exactly as intended.
FRITSCH will display the new compact bread line, PROGRESSA bread, at IBIE 2022. By popular demand, virtual demonstrations will also be held.
FRITSCH will introduce the new ROLLFIX 3.0, the DOUGHLINER, the MULTIVAC R 105 Thermoforming packaging machine with printing and inspection, and the new compact bread line, the PROGRESSA bread.
Puratos bought the French start-up Rapidle, a provider of personalized e-commerce solutions, following the acquisition of Bakeronline four years ago – a Belgian digital transformation start-up.
MULTIVAC announced the launch of its W 500 as a universal flowpacking solution, which offers a high level of flexibility for packing a wide range of food products, including bakery goods.
FRITSCH announced the relaunch of the centerpiece processing line of its portfolio, the ROLLFIX, now in its third generation.
