Sixty years ago, Puratos pioneered the bakery industry by introducing T500, the first complete bread improver. It marked the beginning of a list of innovations in the field of bread improvement that continues today in line with ever-changing market requirements and consumer demands. The invention allowed Puratos to grow from a small local company in Grot-Bijgaarden, Belgium, to the worldwide company it is today.
Some 20 years after introducing T500, Puratos introduced S500, a complete bread improver in powder form. The S500 was an important step forward in operational efficiency and convenience for bakers around the world.
