Orangeworks Group, a leading developer and supplier of advanced process installations for the food industry, proudly announces the acquisition of S&S Baking Solutions. This acquisition marks an important strategic step in expanding Orangeworks’ activities within the global bakery industry.

With the acquisition of S&S Baking Solutions, Orangeworks Group strengthens its ability to deliver complete process lines and integrated technology solutions to the food industry. Close collaboration between companies within the group, including Tanis Food Tec and B&L Chocolate, brings together expertise in aeration, marshmallow processing, chocolate, and bakery technologies. This combination enables Orangeworks to support customers worldwide with total solutions, from individual process steps to fully integrated production lines
This acquisition follows the strategic alliance established between both companies in December 2024 and marks the next step in their successful collaboration.
S&S Baking Solutions has developed into an innovative player in bakery technology, with a strong focus on efficient and sustainable production processes, particularly in steam baking technology.

“The collaboration with S&S Baking Solutions over the past year has clearly demonstrated how well our technologies complement each other and how we can jointly create value for our customers,” says Mirjam van Dijk, CCO of Orangeworks Group. “With this acquisition, we are taking the next logical step and can better support our customers with integrated and scalable process solutions. We are also very pleased that Hoyte Sillevis Smitt will remain with the organization and continue to drive the further development and international rollout of the Steam Baking technology.”
Hoyte Sillevis Smitt adds: “Our collaboration with Orangeworks Group has quickly shown the potential of combining our expertise and technologies. Becoming part of the group allows us to accelerate development and roll out our Steam Baking technology internationally.”
