Studio bakery overcomes its biggest challenge with our advanced screening solution
The food and beverage industry is one of the most dynamic sectors, driven by changing consumer preferences, and increased focus on health. This trend is particularly evident in the bakery sector, where demand for premium baked goods and clean-labelled products is on the rise projected compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.6% between 2023 to 2028 (www.mordorintelligence.com, n.d.).
Customers are seeking baked goods made from high-quality ingredients, free from additives, and crafted with care. As preferences shift towards healthier, high-quality offerings, bakeries are seeking innovative ways to meet these evolving expectations while maintaining efficiency. This shift also aligns with the broader industry focus on sustainability, transparency, and authenticity, transforming how bakeries source raw materials and produce their goods. Studio Bakery, a small artisan bakery in the U.K., demonstrate this industry transformation.
Established in 2017, this family-run business has grown into a nationwide supplier to leading supermarkets such as Tesco, Waitrose, and Asda. Despite its growth, the business remains dedicated to their handmade philosophy of producing small batches of sweet treats only with natural ingredients. However, with rising demand, the bakery faced challenges scaling its operations without compromising on quality.
For years, Studio Bakery relied on sifting flour by hand, which consumed significant time and effort. To address this, the bakery invested in the Russell Compact Sieve®, a high-performance vibratory sieve designed for efficient flour screening. This solution not only eliminated the physical strain on operators but also improved productivity and ensured consistent quality.
Founder Allison Metcalf highlighted the impact: “The Compact Sieve has made a huge difference. It’s easy to clean, quiet, and excellent at removing contaminants. Most importantly, it has allowed us to maintain our handmade approach while improving efficiency.”
Studio Bakery’s story illustrates how investing in the right equipment can help businesses scale production, enhance efficiency, and meet consumer demand for quality goods. For businesses looking to streamline operations while maintaining high standards, our solutions can offer a pathway to sustainable growth.
