EPP’s introduction of this machine highlights a growing trend in bakery production toward automation and efficiency, driven by increasing demand for pre-sliced bread products.
The new line will focus on producing premium, high-quality breads that reflect the growing consumer appetite for variety, health-conscious options, and elevated in-store bakery experiences.
The expansion will grow the Frederick workforce to more than 200 employees by 2027.
The waffles are free from grains, gluten, dairy, seed oils, added sugar, gums, and preservatives.
As Secretary General, Wouter Lox will oversee advocacy efforts, stakeholder engagement, and the promotion of sustainable bakery practices that align with the EU’s Green Deal and sustainability objectives.
