As a family-run business in the heart of Germany, BÖCKER has stood for premium quality, absolute reliability, and long-term thinking since 1910. For us, corporate responsibility means making conscious decisions, utilising our resources efficiently, and continuously advancing our processes. From families, for families.
Dr Georg Böcker leads the family business alongside the fifth BÖCKER generation with a clear objective: to actively shape the future of baking through the power of sourdough.
Through the targeted use of natural sourdough and premium fermentation solutions, we not only create exceptional flavour profiles but also support the production of high-quality baked goods with reliable, consistent results. In doing so, we seamlessly bridge traditional baking culture with modern B2B demands for quality, culinary enjoyment, and transparent corporate action.
“We stand for outstanding bread of consistent quality – all around the world. Our vision is to provide people with high-quality baked goods while ensuring that responsibility remains at the very heart of our daily work.”
– Dr. Georg Böcker
BÖCKER has been family-run for five generations. This gives us a special responsibility: to make decisions not only for today, but also for tomorrow.
As a family business, we think and act with a long-term perspective. That is why we invest in expanding our expertise, developing new solutions, and strengthening our partnerships along the entire value chain.
Together with our employees, partners, and customers, we continuously develop products, processes, and partnerships, actively shaping the baking industry.
For us, packaging is far more than a mere wrapper: it protects our products, supports efficient logistics, and contributes significantly to product safety.
Intelligent packaging plays a pivotal role in the secure transport and reliable storage of sourdough products. Through well-conceived packaging solutions, we ensure that our products retain their premium quality right up to the end of their shelf life.
Especially with our gluten-free baked goods, we rely on high-quality films that protect against contamination and ensure stable storage. At the same time, we are continuously examining opportunities for the further development of our packaging concepts.
The efficient use of raw materials, water, and energy is an important part of our daily work. Therefore, we continuously analyse and optimise our processes to use resources effectively and further develop production workflows.
Modern production planning, food technology expertise, and regular investments in our sites help us to combine quality and efficiency.
Our food waste rate remains consistently below 5 percent. Any unavoidable, recyclable food scraps are sent to a regional biogas plant.
For us, quality begins with the selection of our raw materials. That is why we work with long-standing partners and value reliable quality, transparent collaboration, and long-term relationships. Together, we continuously improve our processes and create the foundation for high-quality sourdough solutions and baked goods.
An interdisciplinary team continuously analyses existing processes and identifies further potential for improvement.
The expansion of renewable energy is an important part of our site development. By continuously expanding our photovoltaic systems, additional areas for self-generated power are created on our commercial buildings.
The generated electricity is used directly in our production and operational processes and supports an efficient energy supply for our sites.
We are also continuing to develop our mobility. Step by step, we are expanding the proportion of electrically powered vehicles in our fleet and investing in the associated charging infrastructure.
Through the combination of self-generated power, modern infrastructure, and optimised processes, we are continuously developing our energy supply.
