EDITOR’s LETTER T
his April/May issue of Kennedy’s Bakery Production is bakery through technology, sustainability, and a relentless pursuit of quality. Whether you’re leading a legacy bakery or building something new from the ground up, the industry
continues to evolve around you, and with it, the tools and strategies to help your business thrive.
One of the most compelling shifts in recent years has been the movement toward smarter, more agile production processes. In our (page 12), we look into market that continues to diversify. Sponsored by FRITSCH, we’ve even decided to put a mouthwatering picture of pizza on our front cover!
From there, we explore the backbone of modern baking in our piece page 16; a timely guide for bakeries making long-term investments in energy-saving technologies without compromising on output or quality. This theme of smart scaling continues with our depositors feature, where we look at how both artisanal and streamlining dough handling or improving product uniformity. Read all about it on page 24.

Of course, innovation doesn’t stop at the oven door. Our sustainable and smart packaging trends article (page 28) sheds light on the growing intersection of environmental responsibility and technological sophistication. From anti-counterfeit measures to AI-driven supply chain integration, packaging is about protection, sure, but it’s also about connection, transparency, and brand integrity. These things can really make or break loyalty from customers, and with recent legislation making sustainable packaging non-negotiable (something I’m loudly championing), these insights will give you great ideas on how to implement it!
As I write this, the team and I are preparing to head to Düsseldorf for iba 2025, a cornerstone event for anyone serious about the business and future of baking. Our next edition will bring you the highlights: the keynote talks that sparked ideas, the innovations that turned heads, and the conversations that matter. Please say hello if you see us around - I’ll remember to wear my comfy shoes this time!
