Bühler Group has sold its flour ingredient business to Bakels Group

Bühler Group has divested its flour ingredient business to Bakels. 100% of the shares of China-based Buhler Bangsheng Food Ingredients (Guangzhou) Co. Ltd. have been signed over to Bakels Group and all employees are moving to the new owner. Both parties have agreed not to disclose the selling price.

Buhler Bangsheng Food Ingredients (Guangzhou) Co., Ltd manufactures and distributes innovative bakery ingredients and application solutions. Products include flour improvers as well as baking ingredients. The company is located in Guangzhou in Southern China.

Every day, billions of people use Bühler technologies and solutions to satisfy their basic food, mobility and communication needs.

Bühler has been active in the flour ingredient business since 2010. The company gained great expertise and excellent customer relations. The business has been profitable over the last few years, focusing mainly on the Chinese market. Bühler’s strategic direction sees process solutions and customer services at its core, which is why they decided to divest the ingredients business to a strategic partner who is better suited to unleash the full global potential of the business.
