Hand Media International is delighted to announce the release of the July–August issue of International Bakery Magazine, capturing the stories of innovation, resilience, and forward-thinking that continue to shape the global bakery sector this summer.
At the heart of this issue is our Cover Story, where GNT presents the E-Bake G2 from GEA Bakery—a groundbreaking industrial baking system that sets a new benchmark in performance. With sustainability, efficiency and hygienic design at its core, the E-Bake G2 exemplifies how smart engineering can help bakeries of all sizes future-proof their operations while delivering both commercial and compliance benefits.
This edition also shines a light on the people driving progress in the industry. In the Big Interview, Lesley Cameron, Chief Executive of Scottish Bakers and National Food and Drink Training, shares her bold vision for a bakery sector that champions skills, sustainability and the next generation. In The Innovator, Frederik Lievens, Chief Product Officer at Puratos, explains how purposeful product development rooted in consumer insight and tradition is shaping the future of bakery and patisserie. Meanwhile, in Breaking Bread, we meet Francisco Gomez from Luker Chocolate, who offers a fresh international perspective on sustainable sourcing, collaboration and creativity.
Our Ask the Expert series brings together a wealth of insight. Jonathan Adams at Baker & Baker explores what “healthy” really means in baked goods, while Stefania Montalti at CEPI outlines how autonomous, adaptable systems are supporting bakeries long after commissioning. Marcel Sturkenboom at Lallemand considers the balance between technical agility and consumer trends, Jordi Caballero at Europastry discusses how frozen bakery is being redefined with artisan quality, and Mike Hanna at Intralox makes a strong case for the switch to ThermoDrive technology, highlighting its hygiene and efficiency benefits.
Finally, our events coverage looks ahead to the PPMA show in Birmingham, highlighting the opportunities for networking, knowledge-sharing and inspiration that await the industry.
Packed with thought leadership, technical insight and creative inspiration, the July–August issue once again reinforces International Bakery Magazine’s position as a trusted voice for the global bakery community.
