The company operates 12 manufacturing sites across six to seven European countries and employs more than 2,500 people, producing more than five million bakery products per day for distribution across more than 30 markets in Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa.

The company's product portfolio combines seven owned brands — Baker & Baker, Black Label, Croexsa, Concadoro, Goldfrost, Molco, and Artisal — with seven exclusive licensed brands including Milka, Oreo, Cadbury, Cinnabon, Daim, The Simpsons, and Philadelphia. Products span sweet and savoury categories including frozen dough, croissants, muffins, donuts, cookies, cakes, laminated pastries, pretzels, and savory snacks, serving retailers, food service operators, wholesalers, and traditional bakeries through enterprise field sales with category management, R&D co-development, and POS merchandising support.

The business operates a B2B revenue model across four channels (retail, food service, wholesale, traditional bakeries), combining own-label manufacturing for retail and food service accounts with proprietary branded sales. Licensing partnerships with Mondelez, Disney, and Cinnabon generate royalty-inclusive revenue for branded fresh-bakery products.

John Lindsay serves as Chief Executive Officer, with Jürgen Rosar, Kristina Weiß, and Matthew Acheson serving as Geschäftsführer of the German primary operating entity.
