In 1993, with the acquisition of the Estonian
yeast producer Salutaguse Pãrmitehas,
near Tallinn, Lallemand started to cover baker's yeast activities in
Europe. In the course of the 1990s, Salutaguse then bought a
Lithuanian yeast company in Panevezys, which marketed its products
under the brand name Sema Mieles. Lallemand was thus strengthening
its presence in the Baltic and Eastern European countries. The
Lithuanian plant became a distribution center of the Group in
Europe. Salutaguse Pãrmitehas distributes fresh bakers yeast in Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and
the Kaliningrad region of Russia. It also exports inactive dried yeast worldwide
through the Lallemand network.
Buying the Austrian yeast producer Harmer Hefe
with its plant in Ottakring (near Vienna), Lallemand got a chance to
enlarge its baker's yeast activities towards the Western European
markets. Harmer Hefe soon created a joint venture with Giegold Hefe,
a Bavarian yeast producer, to launch Hagold Hefe GmbH. The latter
operates several yeast production plants which added up along the
years: Giegold's production plant in Schwarzenbach-an-der-Saale
(Germany), the plant of Old Herold in Trencin, Slovakia (acquired in
2000), the plant of F.X. Wieninger in Passau, Germany (2004), as
well as the Linco Hefe business in Heilbronn, acquired in 2006,
which was transformed into a distribution center. Hagold Hefe operates its own distribution system in Germany and
Austria and exports at this time to France, Spain, Italy,
Czech Republic, Slovakia and Slovenia, Croatia and Hungary.
In 2006, Lallemand GmbH (formerly Harmer Hefe), of
which the original plant in Vienna is now primarily dedicated to the
micro-encapsulation of yeast and bacteria, acquired three
Polish plants: in Lublin, Cracow and Jozefow. The production is now
concentrated in Lublin and Jozefow, whereas Cracow serves as a
distribution center.
In 2007, Lallemand GmbH purchased Suomen Hiiva
Oy, a Finnish yeast company operating a yeast plant in Lahti,
Finland, and marketing its fresh baker's yeast in Finland and Russia.
It also acquired De Danske G&ealig;rfabrikker AS, a Danish yeast and
molasses alcohol company with a plant located in Grenå, which
markets its fresh baker's yeast and molasses alcohol in Denmark as
well as produces specialty yeast and yeast autolysates for the
Lallemand Specialty Division.
In 2009, Lallemand completed the acquisition from AB Mauri of the GBI (ex DSM) baker's yeast business in Spain and Portugal as well as of the AB Mauri yeast plant located in Setúbal (south of Lisbon). Furthermore, the acquisition from Cie des Levures Lesaffre of the company GB Ingredients Ltd (GBI) was completed. GBI operates a yeast business in the UK and Ireland from its factory based in Felixstowe. The Felixstowe yeast plant is one of only two existing baker's yeast plants in the UK and is also the largest one, with capacities to produce baker's and distiller's fresh cream and compressed yeasts as well as instant dry yeast for the European and world markets.
The Lallemand
Denmark subsidiary in Fredericia, Denmark, is a packing and
logistics center for everything concerning dry specialty yeast.
