Dr. Nico Haßmann was appointed as the Managing Director of FRITSCH, taking over the leadership of the company from February 1, from his role as the interim Commercial Managing Director, which he held since March 2024.
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.
Artificial intelligence (AI) in manufacturing is no longer a fascinating idea – it is already here and accelerating quickly throughout many industries, especially in the baking industry. Several reasons are fueling this revolution.
MULTIVAC Group acquired land in the new Industrial Park in Iphofen, Germany, where FRITSCH is set to relocate its main headquarters. The new location, spanning 7.6 ha of land, will bring together the business operations of the dough machinery manufacturer.
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).
Automated inspection systems are able to guarantee top product quality and safety – no exceptions allowed. In-line vision inspection technologies comprehensively inspect 100% of the products throughout the entire manufacturing process.
An internationally recognized method exists to characterize the water absorption capacity with ease and efficiency.
KPM Analytics showcases solutions that meet growing trends such as automated product inspection, process control achieved with vision inspection, processing whole wheat/high-fiber products, at-line dough quality analysis, and ingredient quality control.
At iba, FRITSCH will showcase two bread lines in a new compact and hygienic design, the PROGRESSA and the IMPRESSA bread. An extensive range of machines will be displayed at the stand, solutions for all business sizes.
For process consistency, FRITSCH equipped the IMPRESSA bread (and all its industrial lines) with a new, output-based line control. How does it work?
FRITSCH will introduce the completely redesigned IMPRESSA bread at iba. For the upgrade, the company focused on the line’s hygienic design and a very compact footprint.
