We have been building ovens, machines and baking systems for more than 145 years, thinking in terms of automation, digitalization and processes. We are your partner — to make sure the future begins today.

Biobäckerei Wagner: Sustainability in its purest form

Organic through and through, from company name to domain extension. Biobäckerei Wagner in Tiefenbach near Passau is presumably the first bakery in Germany to be organically certified not only for the baked goods it produces, but also for all ingredients used in its snacks and retail products. For Ferdinand Wagner, sustainability is not only a certification – it is a state of mind.

In Tae Eon runs a bakery in Seoul following the French baking tradition. In this case, nomen est omen, as his name translates into “man of great speech”.

Optimization of baking processes

Vacuum cooling: Innovative vacuum process opens up completely new dimensions

VACUSPEED is the magic formula for optimizing baking processes. With the patented WP vacuum process, baked goods cool down much faster than with other processes, which optimizes the entire work process and at the same time takes into account the current issue of "lack of staff". Night work can be shifted to the day, you get perfect baked goods of the best quality and your employees are happy.

WP BAKERY CONTROL: Centralized data control in bakeries

WP BAKERY CONTROL is the repository and controller of all your baking data. The app allows storage, display and export of oven, recipe and production data. Installation via plug&play is child’s play, and the software can run on your mobile devices at any time.
