Bakery Blogs: Making the leap to large scale baking

Scaling up from artisan production or labscale to industrial baking is a journey filled with complex challenges and the occasional opportunity.  Keeping product quality the same when moving from artisanal product to reap the benefits of larger-scale production includes increased revenue and broader market reach, maintaining the essence of artisanal quality requires thoughtful adjustments across multiple areas. On labscale development we often see that scaling up improves consistency and requires less correction, thus getting a better product than in the lab environment. In this blog series, we’ll explore the key challenges of scaling up and how the Research and Development (R&D) team can address them to preserve quality, consistency, and brand reputation. From recipe optimization and equipment scaling to quality control and sustainability, each aspect plays a vital role in successful expansion.
