About LEIMER
LEIMER KG is a Bavarian manufacturer of baking ingredients and bread products based in Traunstein. Founded in 1919, the family-owned company produces bread crumbs, breading meal, panko, croutons, bread cubes, dumpling bread, breading mixes, wet breading, batters, soup garnishes and bruschetta. The underlying philosophy is "Quality through Freshness": instead of stale bread, fresh white bread is used daily; around the clock, 300 tonnes of white bread are baked on fully automated baking lines and processed into branded products. Selected quality flours from controlled cultivation are processed, including wheat flour type 550 and type 1050, spelt and rye; the product range includes organic, gluten-free, vegan, wholegrain and spelt variants. Filling takes place in folding cartons, film and paper bags, big bags and even bulk silo-truck delivery; in addition, there is an IFS Broker-certified trading business for soup garnishes. Customers include food retail, gastronomy/foodservice, food developers and the food processing industry.
