Dough strand machine
The development of the dough strand machine marked the beginning of a success story that continues to shape our company to this day. A master baker's innovative idea led to a solution that simplified everyday work in bakeries and ensured consistent quality. This invention was not only a technical advance, but also the starting point for the expansion of our expertise and the basis for many further developments.
