Home > About us > Quality vision

Algist Bruggeman's long-standing experience has endowed us with a strong product knowledge and process control, which results in a first-class product.

In addition, we may call ourselves pioneers in the development of new yeast products and applications, so that we always meet the quickly changing needs of the bakers and industrial bakeries.

That perfection is guaranteed by a quality control system that covers all our departments and production stages, from raw material to finished product. Quality control is granted the largest possible attention. In every stage of production, our laboratory checks the activity, microbiological purity and conservation characteristics of the yeast very thoroughly.
