The winner in the "Marketing, sales and organisation" category is Keil Konzepte with "Mini Böxle - the world's smallest and fully functioning bakery branch". A transportable, sustainable and flexible sales unit with everything belonging to a superbly equipped shop in miniature, including a store room and sanitary facilities. Using a low loader and a heavy-duty crane, the sales unit can be set up flexibly at another location without any construction measures.
The French manufacturer Boiron Frères made a big impression with its new "AMBIENT FRUIT PURÉES" in the "Raw materials & convenience" category. The fruit purées are available in nine flavours. They do not contain any added sugar, aroma additives or preservatives, but still have a unique fruit taste. The trick, however, is that the fruit purées do not have to be cooled. This makes their processing much easier. The purées are offered in 1-litre Tetra packs.
The winner in the "Technology" category" is va-Q-tec AG with its "va-Q-tray - A va-Q-tec TempChain Solution", a reusable thermal system box. Thanks to their special insulation with high temperature stability, the innovative trays ensure temperature-controlled transport of dough products or other baked goods. If necessary, the boxes can be equipped with additional cold packs. They feature integrated carrying recesses, can easily be stacked, have a standardised Eurobox size and can therefore be combined with other commercially available transport boxes. And they can also be cleaned in washing tunnels.
