Lesaffre: a fermentation global player

Fermentation is bread’s life, and bread is human’s life.

Did you know that, one-third of the world’s breads are made with Lesaffre yeast?

For 170 years, Lesaffre has been at the forefront of fermentation. As a committed group of 11,000 employees present in over 80 countries, we operate 51 Baking CentersTM and 62 bakers’ yeast and baking ingredients factories around the globe to fulfill our mission: nourish the 9 billion people projected to be on Earth by 2050 – all while protecting our planet.

As a referent in baking fermentation since 1853, we provide our expertise through our “Baking with Lesaffre” offer and its 6 commitments program: Bake for Smile, Bake for Care, Bake for Good, Bake it Safe, Bake it Smart, and Bake it Easy.

Our comprehensive offer includes fermentation agents (yeast, sourdough) and baking ingredients (improvers, mixes, blends, milling correctors) adapted to all manufacturing processes.

More than anything, Lesaffre wants to create solutions not just for baking, but for food taste, pleasure, nutrition, healthcare and industrial technologies.

Let’s work together to better nourish and protect the planet!
