Part of Worldbakers’ IBIE SPECIAL EDITION 2022, we interview important exhibitors about what they bring to IBIE, so readers know what to expect at the Baking Expo that takes place between September 18-21, 2022, in Las Vegas. Today we interview Jason Bowman, President, American Pan, A Bundy Baking Solution, Europe & MENA.
American Pan will be displaying new ePAN designs for bread sets. The new ePAN designs are up to 30% lighter than other pans and have allowed bakeries to save energy by decreasing oven temperatures and gas usage. We will also be highlighting our pan services which include the benefits and how to create a pan service plan to keep pans at optimal performance while remaining on target with their budget.
One of the biggest challenges our customers face right now are the inflation costs of energy/fuel & all utilities. That is one reason we are very excited to present our customers with new ePAN options. We have come up with new designs that allow a bakery to create the pan that works best in their bakery and saves them the most on energy costs. Our customers are also experiencing challenges with raw materials availability and costs. They are having to make formulation changes to meet demand and maintain labelling requirements. The best thing that we can do to help them is make sure their pans are performing well no matter what the formula or volume they are running. That is how our pan lifecycle service plan can help.
