USA – Rouge Lake Management LLC, a private investment firm known for long-term operational partnerships, has acquired All Bake Technologies Inc., a leading U.S.-based supplier of commercial bakery equipment.
The acquisition, finalized in September 2025, marks a strategic expansion for Rouge Lake into the foodservice and manufacturing technology space.
Founded in 1994 and headquartered in Neptune, New Jersey, All Bake Technologies has established a reputation as a one-stop shop for bakery equipment, serving clients that range from small retail bakeries to large industrial producers.
Its catalog includes ovens, proofers, dough makeup systems, mixers, and specialty parts sourced from top-tier manufacturers.
Rouge Lake, which specializes in acquiring businesses with strong cash flow and growth potential, sees All Bake as a cornerstone for its expansion into food production infrastructure.
The acquisition is expected to accelerate All Bake’s growth trajectory by enhancing its service capabilities, expanding its product portfolio, and exploring new markets.
Rouge Lake’s operational expertise and capital resources will support All Bake’s ambitions to modernize bakery workflows and introduce more automation and sustainability-focused solutions.
Chris Sarkesian, founder and managing member of Rouge Lake, will assume the role of CEO at All Bake.
Sarkesian brings a wealth of experience in strategy, mergers and acquisitions, and investments in the food equipment and bakery industries.
“I am thrilled to work alongside the All Bake team and with our valued partners,” said Sarkesian.
“All Bake has built a trusted reputation in the bakery industry, and we are excited to support the next chapter of growth while maintaining and building upon the exceptional service standards that have distinguished the business.”
Industry analysts view the deal as a sign of consolidation in the bakery equipment sector, where demand for efficient, scalable, and hygienic solutions is rising amid changing consumer preferences and labor challenges.
The acquisition also positions Rouge Lake to benefit from the growing artisanal and specialty baked goods market, which continues to expand across North America.
With this move, Rouge Lake adds a high-performing, niche manufacturing business to its portfolio, reinforcing its strategy of acquiring companies with durable value and operational upside.
All Bake Technologies will continue to operate under its existing brand, with leadership and staff remaining in place to ensure continuity and customer satisfaction.
As the baking industry evolves, the Rouge Lake-All Bake partnership promises to deliver smarter, more responsive equipment solutions to bakeries nationwide.
