Background

Lallemand was an early producer of dough conditioners and sour dought starters, and has grown through a combination of internal development and acquisitions. In 1995 it acquired the North American baking enzymes business of Gist-Brocades (now DSM) which became part of Lallemand's American Yeast Division and was later named Lallemand Advanced Baking Solutions.In 2001 Lallemand acquired the sour dough starter culture business of Chr. Hansen, which became part of Lallemand's European Yeast Division and was named Lallemand Specialty Bakery. In 2006 the North American and European Businesses were combined, expanded, and given a new global identity as Lallemand Baking Solutions.

The Lallemand Baking Solutions test bakery and enzyme laboratory are located at its Technical Center in Montreal, Canada. The test bakery is equipped to simulate and evaluate a wide variety of products, processes and ingredients types for breads, pizzas, tortillas, pies and crackers.

More basic research on yeast is done at the Lallemand laboratories in the Industrial Partnership Facility of the Canadian National Research Council's Biotechnology Research Institute, also in Montreal. More basic research on bacteria is done at the Lallemand labotaroties in Toulouse, France.

Lallemand has developed and acquired rights to an extensive patent portfolio focused on baking enzymes and specialty yeast.
