In February 2026, it will be 10 years since Kontinua, a traditional Czech producer of yeast and raw materials for bakers, became part of the global Lesaffre Group. A decade that has brought investment, growth and, above all, a stable partnership with the baking community in the Czech Republic. And with this milestone comes another step forward.

Continuum as a brand is coming to an end. Quality and people remain.

From February 2026, the products you know under the Kontinua brand will appear under the global brands of the Lesaffre Group:

Livendo – yeasts
Inventis – baking mixes
Magimix – improving preparations

The change concerns only the logo, the graphic design of the labels and the product sheets. The essentials remain: recipes, quality, ingredients and the people who develop and manufacture your products.

Same team, same production in Stara Boleslav

Your blends and fermentations continue to be produced where they have always been, in the production plant in Stará Boleslav. Under the hands of the same team of technologists who know the needs of Czech bakers and have been fine-tuning recipes with them for years. Continuity is not about logos. It’s about people, know-how and partnerships you can continue to rely on.

Why this move?

Moving under global brands is a logical step. It allows for better integration of systems, easier communication within the international group, and above all clearer orientation in the portfolio by product function. More than half of our production already goes to a total of 15 countries, giving further reason for global brands that will make it easier to navigate and reinforce the support of decades of proven Lesaffre brands.

For you, it means:

• Access to innovationthat have proven successful in other markets
• Stronger support global brands with decades of experience
• Same quality and functionalitythat you expect from your suppliers

Most of you are already familiar with the Livendo, Inventis and Magimix brands, many of which have been part of your production alongside Kontinua products for years. The transition is therefore not a leap into the unknown, but a natural unification under clearly differentiated brands.

Ten years of a common recipe

When Kontinua became part of Lesaffre in 2016, it wasn’t just an acquisition. It was the beginning of a partnership that brought investments in production, which has increased several times over the years, the expansion of the product range, and above all the security of a stable supplier with a global background and a local approach.

A lot has changed in these 10 years. Trends, technologies, customer expectations. But something remains: the need for a reliable partner who understands your craft and helps you grow.

What is changing for you?

Only two things:

• Products can be found under the new brands Livendo, Inventis, Magimix
• Labels and product sheets will have a new design

Everything else stays:

• Your sales representative
• Technical support
• Quality and recipes
• Production in Stará Boleslav
• The team you know

We’re changing the logo. Not what we’re doing.
