BRIDOR Acquires Organic Bakery PANDRIKS
BRIDOR, subsidiary of LE DUFF Group, announced the acquisition of PANDRIKS Holding B.V., a company that makes organic and artisanal inspired bakery products.
Founded in the Netherlands in 2012, PANDRIKS makes artisanal inspired bakery products. The company offers traditional bread made with noble ingredients and organic bread under private label (in-store bake-off) and through its own brand, SlooOW (home bake-off). The two state-of-the-art production facilities in Meppel (Netherlands) and Fulda (Bio Breadness – Germany) allow PANDRIKS to supply the main European retail chains as well as overseas customers.
PANDRIKS has a turnover of EUR150m (2023) and 400 employees. Under the BRIDOR umbrella, PANDRIKS will continue its journey with both its brand and values being preserved.
As a partner to the world’s leading restaurant and hotel professionals, BRIDOR has been committed to quality and to preserving artisanal know-how for over 30 years. Thanks to production methods that respect the products and thanks to rigorous selection of raw materials, BRIDOR proposes premium products in over 100 countries. The company uses methods that are true to French baking know-how, in collaboration with well-known Chefs, such as Maison Lenôtre and the Meilleurs Ouvriers de France (Best craftsmen in France). Driven by the same values as BRIDOR, PANDRIKS stands out in its market with similar strengths: quality and innovation.
Through this acquisition, BRIDOR builds on the strategy of LE DUFF Group, which has built its success on the priority given to “quality and indulgence on the plate for the well-being of consumers” (Louis LE DUFF, Founding Chairman of the Group).
The integration of PANDRIKS will expand the Group’s production capacity and bolster its product portfolio, particularly in the organic bakery market. It will also strengthen the Group’s foothold in North West Europe and bring on board a talented team of professionals who share a common vision of learning and passing on know-how.
“The acquisition of Pandriks is consistent with Bridor’s strategy,” said Philippe Morin – Worldwide CEO, BRIDOR. “It gives us the opportunity to take a leading position on key markets such as the Netherlands and Germany. This acquisition will also strengthen our teams with the highly experienced, qualified and motivated people from Pandriks joining Bridor.”
