MECATHERM opens up new horizons with innovations that promote sustainability in the bakery and pastry sector

Manufacturers in the bakery and pastry sector are continually faced with a number of challenges, including the quest for product quality, optimum industrial performance, and sustainability issues. Today, for many stakeholders, whether on the customer, supplier, investor, or consumer side, a whole ecosystem is evolving with growing expectations and major concerns in terms of sustainability. Aware of the importance of this subject, MECATHERM has set up a structured approach to social and environmental responsibility that involves supporting its customers in their own sustainability ambitions, particularly in terms of energy efficiency and reducing waste generated by the loss of non-comform products.  

At iba 2025, the MECATHERM team presents its innovative solutions to help customers achieve their sustainability objectives, with a particular focus on actions that reduce greenhouse gas emissions on a production line scale.

“In our carbon footprint, our greenhouse gas emissions are mainly recorded via the use of our customers' lines (98%). On the processes side, part of our customers' CO2 emissions is also represented by line usage. For the production of a baguette, for example, this represents between 15 and 20% of their carbon footprint. It is therefore important to adopt a global approach with all the players in the industry if we are to make effective progress. As a committed partner, we have identified a number of levers on which we can act to meet our customers' expectations, particularly in terms of energy optimization and product loss reduction, while at the same time optimizing their industrial performance,” shares Marie LAISNE, Marketing Manager at MECATHERM.

MECATHERM's commitment to its customers doesn't stop there. With the aim of building a sustainable ecosystem, the company takes a proactive approach, encouraging collaboration to drive sustainable practices across the entire bakery value chain.
