About Us

It was on 21 September 1904 when two brothers, Hendrik A and Bernadus J Bakels, registered the first Bakels company in Amsterdam.

The Bakels Group as we know it today is largely the result of the vision and lifetime work of the son of Bernardus, Bernard J Bakels. He led the company into manufacturing with the establishment, in 1943, of Nordbakels in Sweden.

Through a mixture of investment and innovation additional companies, and successful products, were added through each decade up until his death in 1986. Since then this successful mix continues to be applied – investment increases every year to accompany innovative new products.

By remaining a private company owned by a foundation established by Bernard J Bakels we have grown to become a group nearly 40 companies, manufacturing on all five continents.

Bakels owes its success not just to investment in facilities and innovation but also in our people, whose dedication to our company and the customers we serve has been a feature of Bakels for over 100 years. Investment is increasingly being applied to training people, young and old, in essential bakery skills.

Specialist training centres have been established in a number of Bakels companies and all Bakels technical staff will happily assist customers in gaining new, or improving existing, expertise.

Welcome

Bakels manufacture and distribute a wide range of bakery ingredients, some of which are tailor made for industrial bakeries while others are developed specifically for the craft sector.

Products are formulated to suit each bakery sector and many of the Bakels companies have well established sales and technical teams focused on serving either the industrial or craft bakery sectors. The industrial teams in the larger Bakels companies are even more specialised with separate industrial bread bakery, pastry or cake and confectionery service teams in place. Customer service teams are also set up to provide expert support to their respective customers.

As a professional bakery ingredient supplier, serving specific market sector requirements does not stop at product development. Packaging (from small packs to road tankers) and equipment to support product application are also tailored to ensure that whatever size our customers are, whatever products they are producing, Bakels can supply appropriate products and support.

Beside supplying fine bakery ingredients, Bakels Malaysia follow the Bakels policy of providing a high standard of product applications expertise and service excellence to our customers, with our selected advisors giving intensive bakery knowledge and training to customers.
