Enhancing Industrial Baking Performance with Smart Improver Solutions
In the industrial bakery sector, ensuring consistent product quality while managing complex processes and raw material variability is a constant challenge. Texture, taste, volume, appearance and shelf life must all be delivered at scale, day after day, despite inter-harvest fluctuations and demanding production conditions. Bakery improvers play a key role in securing performance, reliability and consistency across industrial operations.
As AIT Part of Lallemand Baking, we are now able to offer industrial bakers access to the full breadth of Lallemand Baking’s ingredient solutions. This new affiliation strengthens our ability to support bakeries with an expanded and complementary portfolio, combining AIT’s recognised expertise in improvers with Lallemand Baking’s wider ingredient offering. Together, we provide solutions designed to master key process parameters and enhance finished product quality throughout the industrial baking value chain.
Our approach is built around two core improver families. Technic is a technical improver range, developed on a tailor-made basis according to process or application and suitable for all bakery segments. It supports dough tolerance, process control and product regularity, even under the most demanding industrial conditions. Maxisoft focuses specifically on softness management and shelf-life optimisation for packaged bread — a critical performance indicator in industrial baking, directly linked to consumer satisfaction.
Beyond these product ranges, AIT structures its solutions through service-driven concepts designed to address specific industrial challenges. Switch Easy groups ingredient replacement and substitution solutions, enabling recipe reformulation while preserving product performance. Save Up focuses on cost optimisation, supporting efficiency and profitability, particularly in frozen and part-baked applications. Nutri+ accompanies customers in their nutritional optimisation strategies: while not a dedicated improver range, our technical expertise and customised solutions help adapt formulations to meet nutritional targets and support relevant claims.
Softness is a recognised area of AIT expertise. As a leader in this field, we analyse benchmark products, identify key formulation levers and develop tailored solutions to achieve targeted softness profiles. Recipes are then adapted to raw material variability, ensuring consistent quality over time.
Above all, our improvers are designed with industrial bakery realities in mind. Long before enhancing volume or visual appeal, they are engineered to meet the technical constraints of modern production equipment — making AIT Part of Lallemand Baking, a reliable partner for performance-driven industrial baking.
