Synova - A Bundy Baking Solution

What Synova - A Bundy Baking Solution does

Synova, operating as a division of Bundy Baking Solutions, manufactures baking release agents and applicator equipment for industrial and commercial bakeries. Its product portfolio spans three categories: oils (single-component oils such as soybean, sunflower, lecithin, and coconut; release-oil blends under the Supra line; mineral oils under the Primo line at viscosities 70/200/380), greases (Optima cake greases, Ultro trough greases, and the lecithin-free Bake-Well 509), and special formulas (allergen-free, clean label, gluten-free, GMO-free). The company also markets the AccuSpray Pan Oiler equipment family — Pan Oiler, Tabletop Pan Oiler, and Handheld Pan Oiler — featuring recipe-driven programming, precision control over spray volume/rate/pattern, and real-time spray verification. Underlying production is centralized at a ground-up facility in Westerville, OH, equipped with stainless steel equipment, automated blending, predictive and preventive maintenance, and tracing protocols from raw ingredient arrival through finished product shipment.

The business model is hardware/consumable hybrid with services attach. Revenue streams include bulk sale of release agents (5-gallon pails, 55-gallon drums, 275-gallon totes, bulk trucks), sale of AccuSpray applicator equipment, and Comprehensive Pan Service programs that bundle rotating bakeware/coatings supply with pan-inventory review, coating-life estimation, use-data analysis, and scheduled cleaning. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; lead times are typically 7-14 business days. Go-to-market is sales-led, executed through global industry-expert field representatives across four regions (North America, Central & South America, EMEA, Asia & Oceania), supplemented by consultation and quote requests via synovaoil.com.

Customer concentration is by segment rather than by named account: industrial and commercial bakeries producing bread, cakes, cupcakes, muffins, waffles, pizza, crackers, and candy constitute the primary segment, with foodservice operations and restaurants as a secondary segment. Synova leverages cross-sell with sibling Bundy brands (American Pan, Chicago Metallic, Pan Glo, Runex, Turbel, USA Pan) to bundle bakeware, coatings, release agents, and pan services, and pursues specialty sub-segments through allergen-free, clean label, gluten-free, and GMO-free formula options.
