A courageous success story of the post-GDR period through synergies from East and West.
DEBAG Deutsche Backofenbau GmbH is celebrating its 111-year anniversary in 2022, and looking back on an eventful past. Since its foundation in 1911, the company has been dedicated to the production of high-quality oven and baking technology made in Germany.
"The merger of the Munich-based company DEBAG and the Bautzen baking technology manufacturer BOFABA in 1992 was the beginning of a courageous success story of the post-GDR period. The new DEBAG, based in Bautzen, from then on combined very different competencies from East and West—and thus paved the way for a successful future—with a high export share and international clientele on all continents," explains Oliver Theiß, one of the DEBAG managing directors.
Today, DEBAG GmbH is one of the world's leading manufacturers of oven, baking and fermentation and refrigeration technology and sells its products in more than 50 countries worldwide. Customers include traditional artisan bakers, baker's shops – but now also food retail, catering and petrol stations.
