Unibake
on the right
course
The second year of a recession tends
to be difficult to handle. By com
parison, the first year is easy, when
everybody is focused on change, and
it seems rational to pull the brake.
The second year is different, and
2010 was a second year.
Focused on the business and tuned
in on the signals from the market,
we have been leading Lantmnnen
Unibake through the recession and
into a future, which offers a wide
range of possible scenarios. Some
times it feels like all known parameters have suddenly been turned
upside-down. The prices of raw
materials fluctuate dramatically, ex
change rates undermine the profit,
families change their values and their
buying habits. And all this makes
me conclude that we have never seen
more potential opportunities for
the watchful and the skillful than
right now. The flipside of the coin
is the huge challenges looming, and
generally it is fair to say that it has
become harder to earn a profit by
making bread.

2010 was a reasonable year

We have done quite well in 2010
under the given circumstances. We
are not fully satisfied with the result,
but nevertheless we have come quite
close to our goals.
During the year we have acquired
two new companies to our business.
As part of the internationalization
of our bakery structure we have in
vested in a fast food bakery in Hun
gary, reinforcing our position in the
Central European market. The new
bakery in Hungary secures us an
ideal production platform and direct
access to a well-established sales and
distribution network throughout the
Central-European region.
In 2010 we also became the majority shareholder in Bakehouse, UKs
leading supplier of sweet and sa
voury pastries and specialty breads.
With Bakehouse we got emerging
businesses in Australia and South
Africa. The acquisition made the UK
our biggest market. >

Despite the difficult

market situation we
are happy to note that
we have succeeded
in increasing the
market share in
several important
markets and
segments.

>
New bakery structure
being implemented
The fierce competition and the
fluctuating exchange rates make it
more important than ever to bake
our bread and pastry close to the
customers. Therefore we have started
a major restructuring of our baking
facilities to bring us closer to the
most important markets. In England
we are close to opening a brand new
bakery featuring all the modern pro
cess technology that will enable us
to deliver locally produced Danish
pastry to the British market.
The new baking capacity in the UK
means that we will close down the
Fristrup-bakery in Denmark and
move the majority of the produc
tion to the new bakery in Bedford.
Furthermore, we have closed down
the bakery in Glostrup, Denmark,
moving the production of fast food
products to Finland, Germany and
Hungary.
2010 has been characterized by a
number of internal development pro
jects. First and foremost we are in the
process of implementing an interna
tional ERP system that will connect
all business units and support our
philosophy of ONE Unibake. Fur
thermore, we have carried out LEAD
projects in 11 bakeries and the rest of
our sites are planned for 2011.
Market development step by step
The financial crisis and the ensuing
recession have resulted in changing
consumer habits and new require
ments from the customers. Con
sumers are increasingly acting as
professional buyers, planning their
shopping in detail, and making stra
tegic choices. Consumers prefer the
same high quality as ever, but wait
to buy the products until they get a
discount. Hard discount stores are

sprouting everywhere, and downtrading to cheaper goods is also a

significant trend.
B2B customers bear the brunt in
the crisis-ridden market. A decrease
in travelling in almost all markets
and the conversion into discount
are general trends. Customers are
cutting down inventories, investing
in efficient logistics solutions and re
ducing the number of suppliers.
The market for bread is impacted
by the recession. However, bake-off
in particular is expected to grow
in the future. Traditional fast food
is stagnant at the moment but ex
pected to grow when the Eastern
European countries are back on their
feet, and new fast food products like
sandwiches and savouries are also ex
pected to grow.

quickly to important trends and

changes in the market. Flexibility is
our trade mark, and I am sure that
this special ability will make us one
of the winners in the bakery busi
ness. We are investing in the right
development projects, which will
make us even stronger and more
customer-driven, and my greatest
worry is whether we will be able to
invest enough to match the demands
of the markets.
Last year we initiated our ONE
Unibake strategy to create an even
stronger and more united bakery
group.

Trends

Tasty, healthy,

Arjan de Boer
Trendsspotter from
Shoot my Food

The trick is to make

it easy for the consumer to handle
a freshly baked
croissant, a cup
of coffee and a
mobile telephone at
the same time on
the way to work.

Arjan de Boer from the trend agency

Shoot my Food, publishing the Food
Inspiration Magazine, travels around
the world to map the most recent
developments in the eating habits of
consumers. With his camera and his
notebook he roams the streets of cities
worldwide, visiting fast food restau
rants, gas stations, and hotels to track
down what is important to consumers
right now. All over Europe the devel
opment in consumer trends seem to
be similar. But what do they look like?
Sustainable food
According to Arjan de Boer the
younger generations in particular are
concerned about the sustainability of
their food. They care about the impact
of food production on climate and
natural resources. They are concerned
about the increasing number of people
that the planet has to feed. They want
to have confidence in the companies
that produce the food they eat; they
are concerned about animal welfare
and child labour. In other words, they
expect sustainability in the whole value
chain from cradle to grave.
Slow food served fast
Consumers are tired of unhealthy
fast food. On the other hand they
have less and less time.

Apparently a paradox, but the

situation opens new opportunities,
says Arjan de Boer. The art is to
put effort into the preparation and
then make it easy for people to enjoy
the meal on the go. He underlines
the small things that can make the
whole difference.

time. Therefore the packaging is so

important. When you buy a quick
meal it has to be like receiving a gift,
premium quality and care inside and
outside, says Arjan de Boer.
The concept of slow food also
comprises a desire for healthier
products. High nutritional value,
few empty calories and few ad
ditives. This is why whole grain
products are on the rise across
Europe. Baked with white wheat
and with the right mix of flour,
whole grain bread is fast becoming
a favourite among health-conscious
consumers, even in countries that

do not have a strong tradition for

whole grain.
The feminine gas station
While more and more customers
at the gas stations are women, the
ambience and assortment of the gas
stations still mostly appeal to men.
Consequently, women flee the gas
stations as quickly as possible, leav
ing a lot of lost opportunities be
hind.
Fresh, healthy, and tasty prod
ucts, elegantly presented appeal to
women. Shopping at gas stations is
very much based on impulse, and

traditional fast food does not ap

peal to women. On the other hand,
freshly baked bread is a winner
among the women, says Arjan de
Boer.
He also studied trends at hotels.
What he sees is an increasing de
mand for self-service.
- Hotel guests want to eat, where
and when it suits them. It is ok if
you have to do something yourself
to fix a snack or a light meal if you
arrive late if the assortment and
facilities are clean and inviting, and
the food on offering is fresh and
delicate, says Arjan de Boer.

Competitive power

with bread

The smell of freshly baked bread attracts people and makes them buy more. It is all about
offering the right choice during the day and combining it with knowhow of what makes the
difference for your specific business. With our service concept we make tailormade solutions
for each customer with focus on baking, merchandising, sales and boosting profit. We
have solid experience with creating business results for our customers in almost all sales
channels.

Baking results with

in-store bakeries
An active in-store-bakery creates
atmosphere and life in any shop.
With the pleasant smell of freshly
baked bread and pastry the senses are
stimulated towards impulse buying.
By combining the optimal product
assortment and professional product
presentation we help customers in
crease sales in the bakery category by
up to 25%. For this reason even the
discount sector has started to show
interest in running their own mini
bakeries in the shops. At the mo
ment we are developing an in-store
concept for discount shops, bringing
the nice smell into the shops with a
limited number of resources.
Baking results at gas stations
Gas stations in general are in a fan
tastic development. An increasingly
part of their earnings comes from the
food business, and bakery is a key
strategic product category to attract

the consumers. People arrive not

only to buy gas but also for a quick
snack or meal or for food to bring
home. A freshly baked assortment
for every meal during the day in
creases impulse sales and cross sales.
We consult and teach gas stations
how to organize, run and expose the
food & drink sections to get optimal
turnover. It is clear how a softening
of the traditional masculine environ
ment makes a big difference and also
welcomes the female segment to the
shop. Healthy sandwiches, indulgent
snacks and good coffee combined
with traditional fast food makes the
difference.

Baking results in
the fast food business
Fast food is one of our key compe
tencies with a market leader position
in several countries. No other com
panies can offer such a big variation
of products and so many possibilities.
In burger buns we cover everything
from the classic and basic bun to
the gourmet experience. The same
goes for hotdog buns, sandwiches,
etc. With all baking technologies inhouse and a strong set-up with fast
food bakeries around our company
we are able to adjust almost any
parameter in the products: shapes,
sizes, ingredients, fibres, grain, spices,
packagings, toppings, looks and or
ganic or conventional products. We
also make products for special events
or branding activities.

Three new, tailor-made pastries from Lantmnnen
Unibake are now available at one of the UKs major
retail chains. The products were carefully developed to appeal to a broad segment and to attract
new shoppers to the category. We have worked
with appearance, exciting flavor combinations and

attributed to the launch of these new products.

Rye bread

All the healthy characteristics of rye bread, but soft and
mild like sandwich bread. Now there is no excuse to skip
the recommended daily intake of fibers and whole

in Denmark and Sweden we have succeeded in developing a rye bread full of fibers while at the same time
fulfilling the preferences of the consumers. Simply the
perfect bread!

in a bakery
This is why food safety has the highest priority at Lantmnnen Unibake. Through decades
we have refined and developed our routines

At our bakeries we manage the ingredients
carefully, we keep the bakeries clean and

and we run our business with extraordinary
high levels of hygiene. All suppliers have

Every product starts in the artisan bakery

Every new bread or pastry product has been created by a passionate baker who loves his craft. With
professional pride, creativity, expertise and pure craftsmanship we develop every detail of the products:
the crust, the crumb, the shape, the colour, the smell, the taste, the texture. We make everything from
scratch, and it always starts in our artisan bakery. Here we develop thousands of new bread and pastry
types every year. Only the very best are transferred to the bakery lines, where we apply the exact same
care and principles only in larger scale. It is extremely rewarding when our experiments result in a flow of
thousands of perfect copies from the bakery lines.

When I travel around the world teaching baking techniques, decoration and presentation

they always have the same look, taste and

Lantmnnen Unibake

Bake off means fresh

Good bread is made from good ingredients. It is as simple as that.
We can only bake our high quality products when we work with
high quality ingredients. Our requirements to quality, taste and baking characteristics are so high that only the very best ingredients
make it to the bakery. We quick-freeze the products straight
from the oven, before the ageing process in the bread sets
in. This is the key to completely fresh products, ready
for bake off when the customers want a delicious bite.
Bake off offers the opportunity to bake around the clock,
adjusted to sales and demands so that the products are
always freshly baked.

Piet Van Beveren, R&D and Quality Director, Lantmnnen Unibake Benelux

Sensing the dough means everything

In the bakery all physical circumstances affect the quality of the bread: the weather, the humidity, the
flour, the quality of the ingredients, the machinery and the temperature. No robots can ever do this
work. Our bakers constantly adjust the baking process with expertise and precision according to the
circumstances. There is a human being behind every product, assisted by modern technology to monitor, measure, scan and transport the thousands of products that flow from our bakeries every day.

Experts in

whole grain
Tina Lindelv
Innovation Manager,
Lantmnnen Schulstad
Denmark

Tina Lindelv is Innovation Manager in our fresh bread division,

Schulstad in Denmark. She has
worked with innovation and product development for 10 years and
is one of our key experts in whole
grain. During the years she has
seen the bread market develop and
many trends come and go.

The whole grain trend has been

around for several years and seems
to be growing stronger. From our
dialogue with the customers we see
a clear trend towards healthy bread
types with whole grain. This is very
positive due to the proven health
benefits of the fibre, vitamins and
minerals that characterize whole
grain, says Tina Lindelv.

Focus on natural health and taste

Lantmnnen Unibake has highly
specialized competences in utilizing
whole grain and other raw materials
for maximum health and taste.

Among other things, Lantmnnen

Unibake cooperates with the grain
mills to develop new ways of grind
ing and to create new combinations
of grain types.

Whole grain is not just one thing.

We constantly develop new bread
types, which would never have been
recognized as whole grain just a few
years ago. We can do this because
we can combine the raw materials
so that the bread achieves the right
nutritional balance, while preserving
the premium taste, says Tina.

Traditionally, whole grain bread is

made from wheat and rye, but we
are also considering barley, which
has promising properties when
mixed with other grain types. The
trick is to find the right balance, al
ways keeping the good taste and the
natural health as the core elements,
says Tina Lindelv.

Bakery Report
2011

Pushing the limits

We are constantly testing different
flour combinations and pushing the
limits for how much whole grain we
can use in bread and still keep the
good taste.
Today we can bake whole grain
bread which has almost the same
taste and texture as traditional white
bread. Our Levebrd Fuldkornsbrd
from Lantmnnen Schulstad for
example contains 45 % whole grain,
which is more than most rye bread.
At the same time it offers the characteristic mild taste and the white
crumb that consumers love about
wheat bread, says Tina Lindelv.

17

We have just launched a revolution within

the rye bread category. Through innovation we have succeeded in developing rye
bread that combines all the healthy qualities of the traditional rye bread with the
soft and airy quality of white bread. We
expect a lot from the new bread which
fulfills the dreams of many consumers
about the perfect bread.

The healthy trend

Increased focus on health has made
whole grain one of the strongest
trends in the bread market. Over
the years, consumers have become
more and more aware of the nutri
tional benefits of whole grain and
today, the demand for whole grain
products is bigger than ever.

whole grain bread

and more consum

Alongside the increasing demand

for whole grain, consumers chal

up with new, healthy and tasty
products. At Lantmnnen Unibake
we invest a lot of work in develop
ing the whole grain category.

One of the reasons

for the success of
whole grain is
the fact that we
develop new products that meet

Looking into

the bakeries
of the future

The requirements to the efficiency of

the bakeries are growing all the time
as are the requirements to the quality
of the products. This means that we
have to constantly develop and refine
our production. Never before have
we been so ambitious as regards our
production facilities, never before have
we invested so much in so many large
projects and never before has the fu
ture looked more promising.
Structured processes with LEAD
LEAD, which is the Lantmnnen
interpretation of Lean, has been im
plemented in nearly all bakeries, and
the rest are planned for 2011. The
implementation of LEAD makes
the bakeries more professional with
more structured work processes. The
employees are deeply involved in the
LEAD projects at their bakeries, and
the active involvement has increased
the motivation in the daily work,
improved the working environment
has also reduced absence due to sick
ness.
Besides the normal content of such
projects we have added an extra di
mension, which we call bottleneck
analyses. This is where we work
with process innovation to develop
tailored, intelligent solutions that
make us even better at details. We
investigate the details of the produc
tion and map the areas where we by

adjusting small things can become

even better.

New levels of food safety

Food safety has always enjoyed top
priority in the business model of
Lantmnnen Unibake, and during
2010 the effort in this area became
even more visible with the new strategy. During the year all European
bakeries were BRC certified, and
the goal is to achieve grade A every
where. In 2011 we expect USA on
this level too. Furthermore, we have
defined a number of extra require
ments in our food safety manual,
among other things strict require
ments to safety equipment and ex
tremely high hygiene requirements.
The goal is to implement the food
safety manual in all bakeries before
2013.
