Artisan Baking Meets Smart Automation – Discover Glimek in Chicago
Small Bakery. Big Possibilities. Discover Glimek Automation.
Can a small artisan bakery benefit from automation without losing its craftsmanship? Absolutely! On November 10, we’re bringing Glimek expertise from Sweden to Chicago for a hands-on event that explores how smart dough handling can help artisan bakeries work more efficiently, maintain consistent quality, and grow their business.
Great bread starts with craftsmanship, passion, and the right ingredients. But as bakeries grow, increasing production while maintaining quality can become a challenge. That’s where Glimek comes in.
Automation isn’t just for large industrial bakeries. With the right equipment, even smaller artisan bakeries can simplify daily production, reduce repetitive manual tasks, and achieve consistent results – giving bakers more time to focus on what they do best: creating exceptional bread.
Experience Glimek in Action
On November 10, we’re joining the Bread Bakers Guild of America (BBGA) and our partner Coop Equipment Distributors in Buffalo Grove, Illinois, for Artisan and Automation: The Craft & the Machine.
This full-day, hands-on event gives bakery owners and operators the opportunity to experience a Glimek dough handling line in action and discover how traditional baking skills and modern technology can work together.
Participants will work with dough, explore the equipment, and see firsthand how automation can support artisan production. From dividing and rounding to dough handling and maintenance, the day offers practical insights into making bakery operations more efficient without compromising the finished product.
Bringing Swedish Bakery Expertise to Chicago
Representing Sveba Dahlen and Glimek will be Niklas Alricsson, Chief Commercial Officer and Magnus Soeson, Area Sales Manager.
Together with the team at Coop Equipment Distributors, they’ll share their expertise, answer questions, and discuss how Glimek solutions can support bakeries of different sizes and production needs.
Let Craftsmanship and Automation Work Together
The future of artisan baking isn’t about replacing the baker – it’s about giving bakers better tools.
Whether you’re looking to increase capacity, improve consistency, or reduce labor-intensive tasks, this event is a great opportunity to discover what Glimek can bring to your bakery.
Join us and discover how a little automation can make a big difference!
