Allied has had a huge role in the growth of the Artisan Bread “Industry” over the past 35 years.  We have worked with the majority of the “founding fathers and mothers” of the Artisan Bread movement starting back in the  late 1980s and helped them grow over the years.

We pioneered and promoted thermal oil baking technology, still a game-changer that produces a product that can not be replicated fully in any other oven, brought out tailored vertical mixing technologies for higher hydration, and introduced truly stress-free (ie. extrusion-free) make-up lines that can handle hydration levels that no other lines can.  In general we have helped these key iconic producers evolve to the point that they are able to produce an uncompromisingly “artisan” quality product even on a large scale.
