“The pretzel is sacred to us!”

The Mack artisan bakery in Westhausen operates 47 of its own branches and supplies bulk buyers and Michelin-starred restaurants. Hans-Günther Mack, a master baker, bread sommelier and visionary entrepreneur, is also a traditionalist. “The pretzel is sacred to us,” he says of the signature product. 15,000 pretzels are produced daily, with most of the dough pieces being lye-applicated and baked in the branches. At the production facility in Westhausen, the lye application is handled by a machine from Westhausen: the ALLROUND from WP RIEHLE. You can use this machine for the application of traditional pretzels, pretzel rolls and pretzel loaves.
