BEMA and Arizona State University collaborate for Workforce Wednesday edition of BEMA Convention 2023.

LeCrone, LeMatic Inc.’s CEO, has served as BEMA chairman, on the IBIE 2022 committee and in many other capacities.

The trade show highlighted automation and sustainability in packaging.

Challenges of high demand are driving bakers’ goals when it comes to capital spending.

Industrial bakers showed in Baking & Snack’s Capital Spending Study that they have a strong appetite for investment. 
 

High demand for bakery products and snacks has kept bakers optimistic in light of supply chain and inflationary pressures.

Bakeries are still focused primarily on meeting customer orders, but they now have greater opportunities to explore new product innovation.

The fall networking event from ABA and BEMA fills the gap in non-IBIE years.
