YEAST DIVISION<br />
Lallemand strives to be not just a supplier, but a long-term<br />
partner. We know our success depends on your success and<br />
we are focused on providing committed support to the baking<br />
industry.<br />
Lallemand, whose bakers <strong>yeast</strong> activities were originally confined<br />
to North America, became active in Europe through its leading<br />
development of specialty <strong>yeast</strong>s (e.g. wine <strong>yeast</strong>s) starting in the<br />
1970’s. It was only in 1993 however that it became involved in<br />
the bakers <strong>yeast</strong> on this continent, with its purchase of a <strong>yeast</strong><br />
plant in Estonia, Salutaguse Pärmitehas.<br />
During the 1990s, Salutaguse then bought a Lithuanian <strong>yeast</strong><br />
company in Panevezys, which marketed its products under the<br />
brand name Sema Mieles. Lallemand was thus strengthening<br />
its presence in the Baltic and Eastern European countries. The<br />
Lithuanian plant became a distribution center of the Group in<br />
Europe. Now Salutaguse Pãrmitehas distributes fresh bakers<br />
<strong>yeast</strong> in Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and the Kaliningrad region of<br />
Russia. It also exports inactive dried <strong>yeast</strong> worldwide through the<br />
Lallemand network.<br />
With the acquisition of the Austrian <strong>yeast</strong> producer Harmer<br />
Hefe with its plant in Ottakring (a district of Vienna), Lallemand<br />
had the opportunity to grow its bakers <strong>yeast</strong> activities in the<br />
Western European markets. Harmer Hefe soon created a joint<br />
venture with Giegold Hefe, a Bavarian <strong>yeast</strong> producer, to launch<br />
Hagold Hefe GmbH. The latter operates several <strong>yeast</strong> production<br />

plants which increased along the years: Giegold’s production<br />
plant in Schwarzenbach-an-der-Saale (Germany), the plant of<br />
Old Herold in Trencin, Slovakia (acquired in 2000), the plant of<br />
F.X. Wieninger in Passau, Germany (2004), as well as the Linco<br />
Hefe business in Heilbronn, acquired in 2006. In 2010 the Hagold<br />
Group established a distribution company in Baia Mare, in the<br />
Northern part of Romania, to establish a presence in this large<br />
market. Hagold Hefe operates its own distribution system in<br />
Southern Germany and Austria and exports to Bulgaria, Slovakia,<br />
Serbia, France, Spain, Italy, Czech Republic, Slovenia, Croatia,<br />
Hungary, Sweden and Greece.<br />
In 2006, Lallemand GmbH (formerly Harmer Hefe), of which<br />
the original plant in Vienna is now primarily dedicated to the<br />
micro-encapsulation of <strong>yeast</strong> and bacteria, acquired three Polish<br />
plants: in Lublin, Cracow and Jozefow (close to Warsaw). The<br />
production is now concentrated in Jozefow, whereas Lublin and<br />
Cracow serve as distribution centers.<br />
In 2007, Lallemand GmbH purchased Suomen Hiiva Oy, a<br />
Finnish <strong>yeast</strong> company operating a <strong>yeast</strong> plant in Lahti, Finland,<br />
and marketing its fresh bakers <strong>yeast</strong> in Finland and Russia. It<br />
also acquired De Danske Gaerfabrikker AS, a Danish <strong>yeast</strong> and<br />
molasses alcohol company with a plant located in Grenå, which<br />
markets its fresh bakers <strong>yeast</strong> and molasses alcohol in Denmark<br />
as well as produces specialty <strong>yeast</strong> and <strong>yeast</strong> autolysates for the<br />
Lallemand Specialty division.<br />

In 2009, Lallemand acquired from AB Mauri, the GBI (ex DSM)<br />
bakers <strong>yeast</strong> business in Spain and Portugal as well as the AB<br />
Mauri <strong>yeast</strong> plant located in Setúbal (south of Lisbon). The<br />
Setúbal plant is the only bakers <strong>yeast</strong> plant operating in Portugal<br />
and produces fresh bakers <strong>yeast</strong> as well as instant dry <strong>yeast</strong> for<br />
the Iberian markets as well as export markets, notably Africa.<br />
Furthermore, the acquisition from Cie des Levures Lesaffre of the<br />
company GB Ingredients Ltd (GBI) was completed. GBI operates<br />
a <strong>yeast</strong> business in the UK and Ireland from its factory based in<br />
Felixstowe. The Felixstowe <strong>yeast</strong> plant is one of only two existing<br />
bakers <strong>yeast</strong> plants in the UK and is also the largest one,<br />
with capacities to produce bakers and distillers fresh cream and<br />
compressed <strong>yeast</strong>s as well as instant dry <strong>yeast</strong> for the European<br />
and world markets.<br />
The Lallemand Denmark subsidiary in Fredericia, Denmark, is a<br />
packing and logistics center for all dry specialty <strong>yeast</strong>s.<br />
