IBIE 2025: Comprehensive solutions to meet the challenges of the Bakery, Pastry, and Sweet Goods sector

MECATHERM, one of the world’s leading manufacturers of equipment and automatic production lines for industrial bakeries, pastries, and sweet goods, will be present at IBIE from September 14th to 17th, 2025, in Las Vegas, USA (West Hall, Stand 2333).  

MECATHERM will be exhibiting alongside ABI, its sister company known for bagel production, robotics, and automation solutions. Together, they will present complete production lines designed to address market challenges related to product quality and industrial performance. They will also showcase their latest innovative equipment to help bakery manufacturers overcome everyday challenges. 

With growing demand for diverse, high-quality products, food manufacturers must adapt their production lines while optimizing for performance and return on investment. Labor shortage is also a major challenge for the North American market. It is becoming essential for manufacturers to adopt user-friendly solutions to improve operational efficiency and industrial performance. Visitors will discover a wide range of new products at our booth, all designed to simplify the lives of industrial manufacturers. Highlights include the new M-VT vertical oven, cutting-edge make-up equipment such as the M-NS II divider and the new M-RT moulder, and daily live demos of the new MyMecatherm digital platform.On the ABI side, the main attraction will be the reveal of KATANA II, a new comprehensive robotic scoring system. This technology will be displayed at our stand, with several demos scheduled throughout the day.

New cutting-edge make-up line equipment: ease of use and product quality 

Coupled with the M-NS II divider, the M-RT moulder offers an ideal solution for working with hydrated and rested doughs, making it perfectly suited to produce high-quality crusty breads. Designed to meet current market demands, this setup is easy to use, clean, and maintain.    

Exclusive reveal of ABI’s KATANA II Robotic Scoring System 

ABI will unveil its new KATANA II Robotic Scoring Solution for the first time at IBIE 2025. Visitors will get to discover the new equipment and attend live demonstrations.  

KATANA II offers high flexibility and optimal scoring precision. It also adapts to a wide variety of doughs and products, while being easy to use and configure. 

Industrial performance and cost reduction across your production line 

The new M-VT vertical oven can bake a wide variety of products: crusty breads, soft breads, pastries, and sweet goods. This oven also offers manufacturers several advantages thanks to its vertical baking technology. It is particularly compact and straightforward to use. 

With shockless conveying, precise baking curves, and independent hygrometry control for every module, this equipment ensures uniform baking, color, and texture across all products. 

Industrial bakers can optimize energy usage and eliminate product waste from their production lines by utilizing the newest Vertical MV-T oven, Hygro Control System, Energy Recovery System, and ABI’s AI-powered EYE-Q quality control solution. This provides a realistic way to increase efficiency and minimize operational expenses.  

Digital transformation and agility 

MyMecatherm, a customizable digital platform, facilitates real-time equipment monitoring, enables predictive maintenance, and transforms complex industrial data into clear, actionable insights. It supports faster, more strategic decision-making while simplifying communication with MECATHERM teams throughout the entire equipment lifecycle.
