Handtmann announces expansion of testing and training opportunities at new $9M customer center
Cesar Zelaya, Handtmann bakery sales and technology manager, has announced the expansion of testing and training opportunities for US and Canadian customers with the opening of the new $9M Handtmann Customer Center on the corporate headquarter campus in Biberach, Germany.
According to Zelaya, this major corporate expansion fits especially well with Handtmann’s North American bakery efforts that have focused on demonstrating the superior dough handling advantages of Handtmann’s adjustable vane cell technology. The shorter product path, reduced temperature rise and gentle handling of grains and delicate fruit inclusions have been important benefits of the vane cell design that have been most useful to bakers as they work to increase both plant productivity and the premium presentation of their products. “And,” says Zelaya, “we’re a traditional industry that wants proven solutions, so showing the vane cell difference is always critical to our success.”
