"Grupo Bimbo S.A.B. de C.V. has agreed to purchase Sara Lee Corp.’s fresh bakery business in Spain and Portugal for about €115 million ($154 million).
“This acquisition underscores our international growth strategy and bolsters our vision of becoming a global leader in the baking industry,” said Daniel Servitje, chief executive officer of Grupo Bimbo. “It will also give us the opportunity to unite the Bimbo brand on both sides of the Atlantic along with the transfer of know-how between the two companies and commitment of our new Spanish and Portuguese associates.”
The agreement includes all Sara Lee fresh bakery brands, including Bimbo, Martinez, Ortiz and Silueta, in Spain and Portugal along with seven manufacturing facilities. In fiscal 2011, the Sara Lee fresh bakery business in Spain had net sales of $408 million.

 A report

While recent statistics relate consumer spending to poverty status, the country's Rs 15,000-crore biscuits market is throwing light on yet another consumption story. Indians are spending as much on cookies as they are on biscuits that are staple fare, including Glucose, Marie and Milk. Both categories now command 24 per cent each of the consumer spend.

Premium Rusk from Britannia , rusk from britannia , britannia premium ruskIn the last two years, the biscuits segment, ruled by the Glucose biscuit, has been consistently losing market share to its more appealing cousin, the cookie, Ms Anuradha Narasimhan, Category Director, Health and Wellness, Britannia Industries Ltd, told Business Line.
Share dips

She said that the category's share has dipped from one-third of the market it commanded two years back, while the cookies' share has shot up from the 12 per cent it commanded two years back. “We realise that consumers are looking for food for pleasure but are not willing to give up on nutrition,” said Ms Narasimhan.

Thus, to keep consumer interests alive in the declining mass market biscuit segment, Britannia is re-launching its rusks range.

The country's largest consumer products company Hindustan Unilever (HUL) and biggest retailer Future Group will co-develop and co-brand a line of bakery products that will be sold exclusively at Big Bazaar stores in the first instance of such a partnership in the country.

The bakery products will sport both Hindustan Unilever's 'Modern' and Future Group's 'Freshly Baked' brands on their packs and be rolled out in select Big Bazaar shops in Mumbai, an HUL spokesperson said.

"This is co-branding of Modern Foods products with Future group in Future Retail stores," the person said.
Co -  branding  is  a new concept  for  bakery  marketing . HUL  and  Future group have entered into  arrangement to Co -develop and Co - brand for   their  BIG  BAZAR  Retail outlets .

  article from sfgate
There are two things that can make an Oreo better: more filling and more cookie. The latest Oreo version has both, with regular and chocolate filling sandwiched between three chocolate wafers.

It's called the Triple Double Oreo, and it's finally hitting American grocery store shelves - and then our cabinets and then our tummies - this week.

News of the new, stacked-up Oreo broke online back in May, and fans have been drooling in anticipation ever since.

A single Double Triple Oreo cookie has 100 calories and 4.5 grams of fat.

Kraft said the idea for the newest Oreo came from an Argentinian cookie called Oreo x 3 ("por tres").

"The birthplace of OREO is America, but it's one global cookie," says John Ghingo, OREO's marketing director, in a press release . "We're excited when we can take a popular idea in one country and share it with other OREO fans around the world. It's ideas like this that have made OREO the world's favorite cookie."

Energy Audits In Bakery

With  ever increasing cost of energy  bakeries  need  to  get their plant audited once in every 3-5 year period for modification and changes in their energy management and technology  to reduce energy cost . Energy  aud
its  can be done  by  experienced  auditors  or through  institution s .

Energy Audit Methodology:

Energy Audit Study is divided into following four steps

a. Historical Data Analysis:

The historical data analysis involves establishment of energyconsumption pattern to establish base line data on
energy consumption and its variation with change in production volumes.

b. Actual measurement and data analysis:

This step involves actual site measurement and field trials using various portable measurement instruments. It
also involves input tooutput analysis to establish actual operating equipment efficiency and finding out losses in
the system.

c. Identification and evaluation of Energy Conservation Opportunities:

This step involves evaluation of energy conservation opportunities identified during the energy audit. It gives potential of energy saving and investment required to implement the proposed modifications with payback period. All recommendations for reducing losses in the system are backed with its cost benefit analysis.


d. Monitoring and Control:

With increasing energy prices, many organizations have incorporated sub-metering systems in their
plants. It is required to identify and monitor parameters for energy consumption per unit of production
or services i.e. Specific Energy Consumption (SEC).SEC monitoring is an important tool for monitoring and
proving of energy conservation measures especially to see the effect of implementation of projects directed towards energy conservation.


Major Area's  for Energy Audits

Baking Oven
Lighting in Plant
Air Compressors
Air conditioning and Refrigeration unit
Packaging Unit
High  rating Motors
Electrical s system including Transformers
Mixers , Grinders , Blenders  and conveyors 


Energy Audits  has been made mandatory  by several countries . Incentives  for  better power factors  in electrical energy usage  are provided through lower bills .Few  easy  to implement plans  are suggested through these energy  audits  and the cost of  conducting such  audits  are insignificant in comparison to the savings generated   through the   suggestions and modification .

Chitranajan Dar On Sunfeast Marketing Strategies

ITC  has been trying  to establish itself into one of the major player in biscuit segment with brand Sunfeast , launching wide spectrum of  biscuit varieties . It has got products to match  all major segment s of biscuit market such as Marie , Nice , Glucose, Bourbon , Cream  and  Salty .Competition comes from  Britannia and Parle .

Chitranjan Dar on ITC marketing strategies 

Dar pointed out that ITC Foods was able to disrupt the leadership of Parle in the biscuits’ category, which was primarily lea by the Glucose segment. “Five years ago, ‘Glucose biscuits’, coming at affordable price points and targeted at the masses commanded almost 55 per cent share of the biscuits’ category,” he said, adding, “Today, cookies and cream biscuits are emerging as the largest segment within the category.”

This, he said, was possible when Sunfeast, an ITC brand, along with other players came up with cookies and cream biscuits in smaller packaging, priced at Rs 5. “A market that led for 95 years, crumbled in two years,” he said, referring to the leadership Parle commanded.

Unibic Explores New Products In Cookies Segment

Unibic  in recent times has been aggressively putting up new products and enlarging its product range specially in health and wellness platform in its  Niche Cookies segment


Nikhil  Sen  Speaks To BusinessLine

Unibic Biscuits India, in which Unibic Australia has a majority stake, is not quite averse to another takeover deal after an earlier bid by Marico was aborted because of valuation issues.
Focus on niche segment

The takeover would have accelerated Unibic's growth trajectory, but for now the company does not want to be ‘distracted by the takeover experience'. Instead, it wants to focus on building the brand in a niche segment that is high on both the price and wellness factors.

“There is a vacant space here as there are no Indian players in this slot,” Mr Nikhil Sen, Unibic's Managing Director told Business Line. The company was launched in 2004 and has brands such as Chocolate Chip cookies (Bradman), Oatmeal Cookies (Anzac), Butter, Butter Cashew, Choconut and Jamz Cookies.

Unibic Australia holds about 65 per cent stake in the Indian company and the rest is held by Mr Sen and private equity investors. Marico's takeover attempt was to acquire an estimated 51 per cent stake in Unibic.

Donut Master - India 's Own Dunkin Donuts

When ever you think of  Donuts  the name  Dunkin Donuts  crosses ones mind . The American Donut giant has recently announced its plan to  enter  Indian bakery market  with JV partner Jubliant Food works . Dunkin Donuts  have presence in   North America   Europe , Asia , Latin america  and  approximately around  3000 outlets internationally.


Donuts  are new  to India's palate  even as we don't find  any major  Donut manufacturers in India . Now of course small & local bakeries  have started experimenting  with  different varieties  of  Donuts .


I was wondering whether  India would have an answer to Dunkin Donuts  and to  my surprise   I saw  Donut Master retail  cafe  at Kingsway Camp , Delhi . Promptly I bought  all kinds  of Donuts  (Chocolate , Straw berry , Orange  and few Nips ) from that shop  and product were really liked by  all  in my family . Donut Master  thus  can be  our  answer to   DunkinDonuts.

Donut Masters  have  presence in NCR  and Gurgaon  and are  looking for  further expansion .Donut Master is a brain child of  Mr Ajit Raghav  himself  a Food Technologist and Ex - Dunkin Donut  employee .

Food Kiosk Concept Lapped Up By Indian Entrepreneurs

Kiosk  Concept  is  fast developing popular  form of  food service  across India . Days are gone for  canteens , cafeterias and street kiosks . Here comes  sleek , clean and hygienic  Kiosks  catering to  various Indian snacks and fast foods like   wada pav, sandwiches, juices , cakes , muffins , cookies   with hot and cold beverages . What makes Kiosk  concept popular is the  low overheads like space ,electricity and manpower to man these kiosk .Rapid  urbanisation and infra structure  projects have given ample opportunities  for such  food kiosks.  Malls , Metro/Bus stations , College campuses , Airports lounges  and Hospitals are popular places for food kiosks .



A  Report
After a trip down busy Mint Street in Chennai and sampling the vada pav at a small eatery there, 24-year-old Lingesh Waran, a self-confessed foodie, succumbed to the charm of this Mumbai street delicacy. This immediately set him and his friend Deepak Bhattad on its trail in Chennai and later, Mumbai. The journey culminated with the genesis of ‘Vadaa Paa' kiosks early this year in Chennai. While it's early days for Lingesh and Deepak, initial indications appear positive, with certain outlets having footfalls of 300 people a day.

Vadaa Paa is one of the latest entrants in the food kiosk space. The last few years have seen many players such as Burgerman, Nirula's Express (fast food and beverages) and Go Chatzz (North Indian street food), offering both Indian and international cuisine. Salad Chef, Big Mos' Rolls and Wraps, Yo China, Chai Garam, Chokola, Candy Treat, Sweet World, Mr Orange and HAS Juice Bar are the other names heating up the space. The market is not just brimming with Indian players but also has some international players such as the UAE-based Star Engineering Group, which plans to launch a chain of ‘Chickeez' kiosks retailing hot dogs and burgers across India.

Shakti Bhog Divss Comes Out With Atta Glucose Biscuits

   Owner of  popular  flour (  wheat )  brand   Shakti Bhog  had announced  launch of  DIVSS brand of biscuits last year . It make sense as biscuit production  would help in forward  integration  of  their  flour business thus  having  some cost advantage over competitors .

 shakti bhog , shakti bhog biscuits,divss
Having  declared their intention  to join  the biscuit market  it took some time  for Shakti  bhog  team to  launch these biscuits . Even  before launch of   biscuit   we had seen  aggressive  media advertisement  from Shakti  bhog. Along with  advertising we could  also   see HR  drive  to hire  sales team all across India.
Divss  biscuits  are produced  at their  Haridwar  manufacturing unit .


We now  can see the products  on retail shops in Delhi .  Product. which  I could get  was tikki packs  of  DIVSS Glu Coco  and  Shakti  - AG   priced Rs 2/-  for  40 g .

DIVSS   biscuits   are trying  to  place it self  on the healthy  biscuits segment where one gets biscuits  of  ATTA  ( whole grain )   instead of MAIDA  hence  they  are using   AG  (  Atta  Glucose biscuits )  as tagline    for  their glucose biscuits .


It  would  be interesting to see consumers  response to these atta biscuits  . Parle s   PARLE G  and  Britannias  TIGER  are main competitors in  mass glucose  segment .

Parle To Open Bakery Retail Shop s - Parle Shoppe

Drawn  by  ever increasing rush by investors , businessmen and vc  . Parle products  have  decided to  start  exclusive retail  shops  in line of Haldirams  and  Monginis  bakery retails shops selling  cakes , cookies and other popular bakery products . There seems to immense potential  in  these retail  shop which allows consumers to select bakery product of their choice and to  spend time eating at the same place .Parle might also try  to launch packaged cake and chocolates in coming months  .


A  report

Parle Products, the maker of brands such as Hide & Seek and Monaco, will foray into two new segments of packaged cakes and chocolates in the next quarter. “Parle has plans to launch chocolates and packaged cakes within a month or two,” said a senior company official close to the development.
Distributors of the biscuit maker, which is market leader by volume, told Financial Chronicle that the company’s plan is to diversify its product portfolio in order to cash in on the growing bakery business. Praveen Kulkarnii, general manager - marketing at Parle Products, denied that the company is foraying into the two new segments. “We have no plans to enter cake or chocolates categories,” he said.
Industry officials told FC that Parle has also started its own chain of exclusive retail outlets called ‘Parle Shoppes’.

The outlets are expected to help the company in its first diversification outside the biscuits and confectionery segment. The first such outlet has come up in South Mumbai. Parle’s move to experiment with setting up exclusive outlets aims to replicate the success of Monginis which has exclusive Monginis shops selling cakes, savouries and packaged bakery products. Kulkarnii, however, said the company has no plan to expand its Parle Shoppe network.
The entry into the packaged cakes segment, which is dominated by Monginis and Britannia, is an outcome of the company’s focus on new product introduction to drive growth, according to industry officials. While some of its new products such as Parle Monaco Smart Chips have been a success, others such as Parle wafers and FullToss have been a mixed bag.

The leading players in the chocolate market are Cadburys, Nestle and Amul.
Rivals in the market believe that all players in these segments will benefit when the “pie” increases. Virendra Ghole, GM (marketing and ecommerce) at Monginis Foods, said, “The packaged cake market is driven by distribution. With a mighty distribution set up covering remote parts of India, Parle will be successful in making a large impact on this industry. The market will expand with increased awareness for branded cakes benefiting organised branded firms.
