The baking industry is constantly evolving, with innovation driving efficiency, quality, and sustainability. Over the past 5-10 years, one of the key technologies transforming the way bakeries cool their products is Vacuum Cooling. This method, already widely adopted in regions like Europe and North America, is now making its mark in Australia and New Zealand, offering bakeries the opportunity to significantly reduce cooling times, save energy, and improve product shelf life.
On March 17th, join us for an exclusive webinar where industry leaders will dive deep into how vacuum cooling can revolutionise bakery operations. We’ve brought together a panel of experts, including Hans Juursema, a global leader in vacuum cooling technology and founder of Weber Cooling, Giel Vermeulen, a 5th Generation Master Baker from the Netherlands, Samuel Suarez, an award winning Spanish Master Baker and Nick Hanley, Global Sales Manager at Weber Vacuum Group. They will all share their insights into the technology, its practical benefits, and the success stories of bakeries that have already adopted it.
