Lesaffre, global key player in baking and fermentation

Lesaffre Česko, a.s. has been a representative of Lesaffre in the Czech Republic since 1999. In the baker’s yeast segment, we have occupied the leading position on the Czech market for a long time. We also rank among the suppliers of other raw bakery materials – sourdoughs, premixes and improvers.
In 2016, we strengthened our position in the field of raw bakery materials by acquiring the successful Czech Republic-based company Kontinua – improvers, thanks to which we now also have our own production capacity and baking centre in Stará Boleslav.
Our offer encompasses a wide range of yeast in various forms - pressed, granulated, liquid, dried, and yeast for different types of dough. Additionally, we provide sourdoughs and starters to improve the taste and aroma of bakery products.
To facilitate the production of a diverse range of baked goods, we offer bakery premixes. Furthermore, our improvers optimize dough processing, enhance crumb and crust structure, increase volume, extend shelf life, or improve pliability.
Complementing these solutions, we also supply other baking ingredients characterized by high quality and uniqueness.
We were the first in the Czech Republic to open a state-of-the-art Baking Center™, providing comprehensive support to our customers.
We were the only company in Central Europe to implement automatic dosing of the liquid improver "Solubl´in" through a specialized tanking device, streamlining production for our partners.
We are the sole supplier in the Czech Republic of liquid yeast in customized containers, ensuring the highest quality and convenience.
Furthermore, we introduced the original Soft´n Fresh concept to Czech bakers, helping maintain pliability and freshness in packaged pastries.
These innovations showcase our commitment to delivering cutting-edge solutions to the baking industry.
At Lesaffre, we are committed to operating in a socially and environmentally responsible manner. As a global leader in fermentation, we recognize our responsibility to contribute to a more sustainable future.
In Lesaffre Česko, we care for our employees by providing benefits like 25 days of holidays, meal and sports vouchers, flexible work arrangements and much more. We also support the non-profit organization Náruč dětem, selling Christmas products to fund their activities for foster families. Environmentally, we utilize solar panels at our headquarters and implement waste separation and recycling practices.
Underpinning our efforts is a deep purpose to leverage our expertise in fermentation to better nourish and protect the planet. This commitment guides us as we continuously seek new ways to create positive impact.
The aim of our integrated quality and food safety management system is to ensure the production and sale of safe products of high quality. We want to provide our customers with the certainty that they always receive the required products in the right quantity, at the right place and at the right time.
