About South Bakels
We manufacture and distribute a wide range of premixes and specialised ingredients, some of which are tailor made for industrial and in-store bakeries while others are specifically developed for the Craft and Foodservice sectors.
Products are formulated to suit each market sector and South Bakels has well established sales and technical teams focusing on serving the particular needs of every customer.
Serving specific customer needs does not stop at product development and technical support. Packaging (from small packs to tanks) and equipment to support product application are also tailored to ensure that whatever size our customers are, whatever products they are producing, South Bakels can supply appropriate products and support. South Bakels also provides a range of application equipment for Release Agents.
