The Italian Baking Center™ is part of a network founded in France in 1974, composed of 50 Baking Centers™ worldwide, driven by over 200 professionals, including master bakers, researchers, engineers, developers, and trainers. Over time, this global network has developed unique expertise to meet the needs of customers—whether artisans, industries, or distributors—and to create products and processes marked by innovation.
The Baking Center™ network is a great strength for Lesaffre: the constant exchange among colleagues from different countries makes it possible to share diverse food cultures, insights into consumer tastes, and emerging food trends. An extraordinary observatory of the baking world at a global level.
