Our history
Since 1920
Since 1920, Kalmeijer has been a trusted name in the world of artisan bakery machines. Our journey began with Arnold Kalmeijer’s invention of a technology that transformed dough into shaped cookies. The cookie moulding machine became a great success thanks to its simplicity, durability, and the high quality of the cookies it produced.
Mechanization in the Bakery
Kalmeijer played a key role in the mechanization of bakery processes. By developing machines that supported bakers without compromising craftsmanship, we helped bakeries increase efficiency while maintaining the authenticity of their products.
Fruitweg 11 in The Hague
After relocating to a new factory on Fruitweg in 1953, Kalmeijer’s growth truly accelerated. With the development and introduction of dough lines for both small and large bread, demand in the Netherlands and Flanders increased rapidly. Kalmeijer played a significant role in the mechanization of the bakery sector.
Experience and Expertise
Our customer advisors have grown into experienced bakers, and Kalmeijer has built in-house expertise to help craft the best artisan bread in the most efficient way using our machines. We take into account ingredients, oven capacity, product range, workflow, planning, and overall bakery efficiency. With this holistic approach, bakers are always set up to perform at their best with Kalmeijer by their side.
