You want to convince your customers with sweet enjoyment? We support you in realising your concept. Our wide-ranging expertise is based not only on the knowledge of IREKS, but also on the expertise of our subsidiaries DREIDOPPEL and LUMEN, who specialise in these areas. We combine this knowledge in our confectionery baked goods, confectionery and ice cream products, which are not only convincing in terms of taste, but also offer safety, flexibility and room for creativity.
Sweet baked goods cater for special moments of pleasure! On certain occasions, confectionery baked goods are in demand – for a little joy or a quiet moment in between, you can also have yeast baked goods, cakes and the like. That’s why we offer a wide range of products for artisan and industrial bakeries, confectioners, cafés and hotels, so that you can provide your customers with precisely these moments. Our product range includes ingredients for pound cake, plain cake, sponge cake batters and fillings, as well as for short pastry and yeast-raised baked goods, cream and fruit fillings. They are suitable for both efficient and individual production of baked goods.
Knowing how food is produced and what impact it has on people and the environment is becoming increasingly important for consumers. IREKS therefore offers a diverse range of organic improvers and organic mixes for the efficient production of a wide variety of baked goods in organic quality. For this purpose, we use raw materials of agricultural origin that come exclusively from certified organic cultivation. Our products are produced in accordance with the strict requirements of Regulation (EU) 2018/848. The certification by an independent Organic Control Body (DE-ÖKO-001) is the visible sign of our organic quality!
More and more people are turning to special diets. The reasons are manifold: to support their general well-being, due to intolerances or out of conviction. Whether lactose-free, palm oil-free, additive-free, egg-free, sugar-free or vegan – with our wide “Free From” range, we are creating enjoyable options for those who want to abstain from certain ingredients. Of course, the quality and safety of our baking ingredients is just as important to us. We achieve this through a comprehensive allergen management, our self-contained, batch-based manufacture and quality controls in every production stage.
We have been supporting confectionery bakeries and bakeries with a comprehensive gluten-free range since 1995. Gluten makes cereals suitable for baking, which is why doing without the texture-providing protein in baking is a particular challenge. Gluten-free baked goods, however, are in demand – more and more people who do not suffer from coeliac disease are making a conscious decision to avoid gluten in their diet. In order to meet the high safety standards in the production process, we use carefully selected gluten-free ingredients that are further processed in our self-contained batch mixing system excluding cross-contamination, followed by comprehensive testing in our IREKS IQ Centre.
Food has a profound meaning in the Jewish and Muslim religion, which is why its selection and production are subject to special dietary laws. Our special range of kosher and halal products is therefore specifically certified by a rabbi or imam. Together, all relevant factors are determined, such as the cultivation of the raw materials used as well as their certification and the cleaning of the machines used for manufacture. In order to take these into account in the production process, we have the best prerequisites thanks to our own agricultural trade and the production of our baking ingredients in a self-contained batch mixing system.
Ensuring an excellent taste without compromising the volume of cream or other fillings – that is just one of many good reasons for using flavouring ingredients in confectionery or ice cream production. With confectionery pastes, flavourings and the like, you can harmoniously round off the taste nuances of your creations, convince with an authentic colouring and, in addition to the classic flavourings, also incorporate trends and extraordinary highlights of taste. For this purpose, we offer confectionery pastes or flavourings in liquid, spray-dried or powder form.
The perfect ice-cold refreshment can assume many a shape – whether as artisan milk ice cream or fruit ice cream, soft ice cream topped with various sauces, a creamy milkshake or colourful slush ice. Our product range, consisting of ice cream pastes and flips in numerous flavours, ice cream binding agents, Marmorias, toppings and other ice cream accessories, gives you plenty of scope to meet your customers’ wishes and expectations and simplifies your own work in the ice cream kitchen. Depending on location and target group, we offer successful concepts around our well-known brands such as GELATOP and LunaMil worldwide. In keeping with this, we provide support by advertising material, advice, seminars, an all-round service as well as high-quality soft ice cream machines that are used in highly frequented locations all over the world.
