Bakkerij Veenhuis is part of the Borgesius empire and one of the most progressive bakeries in the Netherlands. Quality is the driving force behind everything the Borgesius family does, and that goes beyond the quality of the end product. Everything has to meet high standards.
Many bakeries place UVC disinfection lights in their freezers to prevent mould, as it's an environmentally friendly disinfection method. Bioclimatic has helped Bakkerij Veenhuis eliminate mould on the proofer cups in the proofing cupboard. "It has been almost four years since we called in Bioclimatic," says Bert Meijer. "We were already familiar with UVC because we had been working with UVC treatment for over twenty years, but we were looking to make improvements and we'd heard good things about Bioclimatic from colleagues in the industry. So we started looking at our options and eventually decided to install new fixtures that eliminate mould and bacteria in the proofer cups in freezers."
"Quality is the most important thing for us, and that is what makes us stand out. With Bioclimatic, we can guarantee high quality for our products, but we've also achieved cost savings with the UVC bulbs. We don't have to clean and replace the proofer cups as often and the bulbs also last a long time. In total, we're saving around €8,000 per year."
