The hallowed halls of backaldrin

This is the place where innovative ideas take shape. Where popular creations are refined and enhanced. These are the hallowed halls where the master bakers and confectioners at backaldrin bring their baking expertise to life. We’re talking about the ten bakehouses at the company’s headquarters in Asten.

Each and every one of them makes an important contribution to the company’s success. A wide range of deck and rack ovens from different manufacturers and in different sizes, refrigeration and freezing systems, small baked-goods systems and even a laminating system serve to prepare for or simulate every possible scenario that the baking industry might encounter. But first things first...

Development bakery

While the foundations for the recipes are laid in research and development, it is in the development bakery that they come to life. With meticulous attention to detail and a deep understanding of dough, backaldrin’s bakers give shape and substance to the bread and pastry innovations of tomorrow. Where once the Original Kornspitz was invented, breads such as GlüxNuss made with Pane Scuro or wholegrain wheat bread made with Whole Wheat 30 % have more recently been developed, and many more items are set to follow.

DOUGH SHEETING LINE

A dough sheeting line is far more than just a machine – it turns dough into an endless band full of possibilities. With precision and care, breads, rolls, and pastries are crafted, each piece perfectly uniform and of the highest quality. What sets it apart is that it combines artisanship with technical excellence, transforming an efficient process into true bakery craftsmanship.

Bakery for application technology

In what is known as application technology, we develop new applications for the original recipes. Looking at the example of Pane Scuro and GlüxNuss, we subsequently developed Wurzelbrot, GlüxDuo and Krustis. In this bakery, Kurt Seyrkammer and his team mainly cater to the wishes of key customers, testing new possibilities for them and providing them with fresh ideas for tried-and-tested products. The most important equipment in this area includes the small baked-goods line and the dough strip line, which is located in a separate room.

backademie^®

The backademie^® is another backaldrin flagship. The space resembles a combination of a university lecture hall and a bakery and serves as an information centre for customers visiting the company headquarters in Asten. Product manufacturing can be tested live on site and also followed on a large screen via video transmission. Every week, a number of training courses and presentations for backaldrin guests take place at the backademie^®.
