Hand Media’s International Bakery Magazine has launched its special INTERPACK issue.
Featured in the issue is a Big Interview with Linda Niklasson, Global Vice President at Bimbo QSR and one of this year’s International Bakery award winners. In a conversation that goes beyond systems and standards, Linda offers a compelling perspective on the human side of quality and food safety – reminding us that culture, leadership, and accountability remain just as critical as any technological advancement.
That balance between people and progress is echoed across the Innovator feature, where Stefano Antonini of GEA BU Bakery explores how engineering and digitalisation are unlocking new levels of efficiency and sustainability. Meanwhile, the cover story with CEPI looks ahead to interpack with a bold vision: a connected, circular food industry built on integrated systems, smarter data, and sustainable design principles.
Digitalisation, in particular, continues to redefine what’s possible in bakery production. From Rademaker’s data-driven approach and AMF’s focus on flexible automation, to Koenig’s six decades of innovation and Rondo’s precision dough handling, this issue’s Ask the Expert features highlight a sector embracing intelligence at every stage of the process. Europastry’s insights into high-hydration bread innovation further demonstrate how tradition and technology are increasingly working hand in hand.
Of course, no interpack issue would be complete without a preview of the show itself. The dedicated events section offers a snapshot of what to expect in Düsseldorf, with highlights from key exhibitors: Bradman Lake, CEPI, GEA, Goodway, Hebenstreit, IMA Group, Lantech, Sugden, Verhoeven.
We hope you enjoy the issue and if you are attending or exhibiting at interpack, we look forward to seeing you there!
