Bundy Baking has enjoyed successful business worldwide over the past years, with American Pan strengthening its foothold in Europe.
William Bundy – Global President, Operations, Bundy Baking Solutions, and Jason Bowman – President American Pan Europe & MENA talk resilience, acquisitions, technology and, first of all, loyalty, in an interview.
American Pan is preparing to exhibit a comprehensive range of baking solutions at iba, including those from Runex and Turbel, companies that joined the Bundy Baking Solutions group since the last iba. The focus will be on eco-friendly solutions, energy-efficient and smart equipment.
KEMPF is bringing its comprehensive portfolio of trays, pans, coatings and racks to iba – including new product releases. The special trays of its new group member, KeyBAKE, will also be showcased.
American Pan and Turbelco announced a new partnership in the form of a new company called Turbelco, an American Pan Company. Turbelco has facilities in Turkey and Germany, which will continue to operate as before and will receive upgrades.
KEMPF is taking over the majority of the KeyBAKE shares, adding the company to the KEMPF Group starting January 1, 2023. Together, KEPMF and KeyBAKE aim to strengthen their position in the international bakeware and coating market and extend their product range, with a combined team of 150 people working for the Group.
Having the right coating for the product, the process and the pan goes a long way to obtaining perfectly baked
The durability of pan coatings starts the moment they meet the pan, and the design of the pan plays a major role in the life of the coating. That is why American Pan considers the type of pan coating that will be applied from the very beginning of the bakeware design process.
KEMPF has recently started working in its new coating plant, built in Rohrbach, Germany – the result of a EUR 18 m investment in equipment and property. KEMPF developed this plant for high-quality bakeware coatings.
Kempf announced two new international key account managers joined its team of specialists at the beginning of this year, Chris Pehoviak and Johannes Rustler.
American Pan’s facility in Alexandria, Romania, is the company’s main European operation headquarters for bakeware, with investments worth EUR 10 million planned over the next five years.
