DEBAG GmbH Celebrates its 111-year Anniversary

DEBAG Deutsche Backofenbau GmbH marks 111 years since its founding in Munich in 1911. DEBAG GmbH is one of the world’s leading manufacturers of oven, baking and fermentation and refrigeration technology and sells its products in more than 50 countries worldwide. Customers include traditional artisan bakers, baker’s shops – but now also food retail, catering and petrol stations.

DEBAG GmbH’s history was marked by the invention, in 1936, of the Monsun baking system, an energy efficient oven based on the slow movement of hot air. At the beginning of the new millennium, the technology was included in large oven models and in the DILA shop ovens that can be used in the food retail sector.

To this day, production is still being carried out in Germany – at the sites in Bautzen, Königsbrück and Cossebaude in Saxony. With 270 employees, DEBAG is one of the largest employers in the region.

“To date, more than 48.000 shop ovens have been delivered worldwide, and more than 100 large ovens leave the factory every year. We manufacture over a total production area of 4,500 sqm. We are more than proud of these figures”, says Oliver Theiß, Managing Director of DEBAG.
