Cookies, Great Variety

The Company "Niederrheinische Formenfabrik
GERH. JANSSEN & SOHN" was founded in the year 1872 and the
4th generation is now running the company, still in Krefeld, near
Düsseldorf.

In the early days the owner rode from bakery to bakery and
from farm to farm in his horse and cart to sell the wooden
models to bake "Spekulatius", a speciality of our region.
"Spekulatius" is still baked traditionally by most of the bakers
today in the north and west of Germany, in the Netherlands
and Belgium.

The methods of production have changed and improved. The first
cookie machines were developed and built in our company about 70
years ago. Modern computerized machines help the baker to produce
his cookies today.

Cookie-machines made in stainless steel are made today by
specialised craftsmen. Our customers are small and medium sized
bakeries and confectioners. The capacity of the machines is between
30 and 500 kg per hour, depending on the shape of the cookies.

To achieve this, there is a need for sophisticated and proven concepts.
Our long years of experience and the cooperation with customers from
allover Whether you want to form thin butter cookies, fine tea-cake,
Spekulatius, Printen, Lebkuchen, almond tartlets, lattice works or ginger
bread cookies, the machines do it all.

The world have helped us and is an extraordinarily sound and valuable
basis for further developments and concepts. So we offer our knowledge
and provide the customer with fresh ideas for the bakery.
