Experts
CraftMark Bakery was founded by a close circle of bakery products experts, all former executives from the frozen bread dough, cookie dough and muffin batters world. Seeing an opportunity to completely redefine the baked goods manufacturing industry, they envisioned an intelligent, highly automated commercial bakery that would not only represent the latest generation of high-speed manufacturing, but also fold in the top North American experts in R&D, process innovation, bakery operations, supply chain logistics, food commodities, food safety, marketing, and commercialization.
