Message from head of production

Klaus Fetkenheuer about production in Gerolzhofen, Germany

“By constantly maintaining and improving food safety and product quality we became one of the most trusted frozen bakery producers.”
Whenever I am asked about the key factors of our operations in Gerolzhofen in Germany I can securely say that our strict focus on quality, food safety and customer needs mainly contributed to our success.
Our early decision to rather constantly invest in modern technology and employee training than to save costs provides the right basis for all our activities.
Especially in terms of hygiene and food safety I am happy to say that our production site belongs to the best.
We are dedicated to ensure high quality standards, transparent workflows and longterm retraceability of all ingredients used for which we now attained the international accredited IFS/BRC Certificate, one of the highest awards achievable.
Accordingly our customers can be sure that products made at Hiestand Gerolzhofen are produced under high industrial hygiene and quality restrictions where each production step is explicitly defined and strictly controlled by designated employees.
We are therefore very happy to offer our customers products which they can successfully market by showing bakery competence in taste and quality.
