Supporting global bakery excellence at SIRHA bake & snack in Paris

Last month, leading baking professionals from across the globe convened in Paris for the prestigious Bakery World Cup and the French School Cup, hosted during SIRHA Bake & Snack. These internationally recognized competitions represent the highest standards of technical skill, creativity, and precision within the baking industry, bringing together elite artisans and emerging talent to demonstrate excellence across multiple disciplines.

As an official partner of the event, our technology brand VMI played a critical role in supporting competition performance by supplying advanced mixing solutions. Among the equipment provided were the VMI SPI 53S spiral mixers, engineered to deliver optimal dough development through controlled energy input, consistent mixing dynamics, and precise parameter management.

In a competitive environment where repeatability, dough structure, and fermentation control are essential, reliable process performance is fundamental. From artisan bread formulations requiring careful gluten development to technically demanding laminated and pastry applications, our equipment ensured stability, uniformity, and production efficiency under rigorous conditions.

Our involvement in these high-profile events underscores our commitment to advancing technical standards and supporting professional bakers worldwide. By contributing robust, performance-driven solutions to global competitions, we continue to reinforce our mission of enabling excellence, fostering innovation, and strengthening the future of the baking industry.
