Bakkerij Faber

What Bakkerij Faber does

Bakkerij Faber B.V. is a Dutch industrial bakery founded in 1883 in Hoogeveen, Netherlands, that produces bread and pastry products for B2B customers — primarily supermarket chains and retail outlets across the Netherlands. The company operates a modern, partially automated production facility combining traditional craftsmanship with industrial process technology: dough preparation, computer-controlled weighing, proofing cabinets (rijskasten), a 25-meter conveyor belt oven operating at 240–260°C, natural cooling, and automated packaging. Its product portfolio spans four categories — dagvers (fresh daily) large and small breads, houdbaar (long shelf-life bake-off products), specialiteiten (artisan specialties including Drentse bol and Fries suikerbrood), and private label / custom bakery manufacturing for chain partners.

The business model is direct B2B supply to Dutch supermarket chains and retail outlets, with products delivered daily via the company's own vehicle fleet. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. The company holds IFS Food certification at both its Hoogeveen and Apeldoorn sites, plus GMP, Hygiënecode voor bakkerijen, and Skall organic transport certifications. Since 1997 the company has operated under the Bakkerij Faber name, and it is now part of Market Food Group, a Dutch bakery group that also operates over 600 market locations, Le Perron branded stores, and private label production. The company is privately held (B.V.), is not venture-backed, and reports no funding rounds, M&A activity, or leadership changes in the available data.
