BakkersVakWedstrijden 2026: the stage for craftsmanship

On 10 and 11 November 2026, the Dutch National Bakers' Championships (BakkersVakWedstrijden) will take place at the Abe Lenstra Stadium in Heerenveen. As a proud sponsor, Kalmeijer is pleased to support this leading event for the artisanal bakery industry.

The BakkersVakWedstrijden offer bakers from across the Netherlands the opportunity to have their bread and pastry products evaluated by an expert jury. Each year, the competition serves as an inspiring meeting place where craftsmanship, innovation, and quality take centre stage. Both established bakeries and emerging talent are given the opportunity to showcase their expertise and measure themselves against fellow professionals from all over the country.

The competition is not only a recognition of artisanal skills, but also demonstrates the exceptionally high standards of the Dutch bakery sector. For consumers, it provides the chance to enjoy products that have been created with passion, knowledge, and a strong commitment to quality.

Kalmeijer is deeply committed to supporting the artisanal bakery industry and is therefore proud to contribute to initiatives that promote and highlight professional craftsmanship. We wish all participants the very best of success and look forward to two inspiring competition days in Heerenveen.
