MIWE mkes baking simple

 Michael Wenz founded the MIWE Company in his home town in Arnstein, Germany in 1919. After the Second World War, he set forth his efforts in the oven industry. In 1951 his son, Edgar Michael Wenz joined the business and from that point on in time, the company entered a phase of rapid development with special emphasis placed on technological innovations such as the introduction of the roll-in rack oven to Central Europe and the idea of baking bread on the shop premises to allow the aroma of freshly-baked bread to entice the customer. In the meantime, in-shop baking has become extremely popular.

MIWE oven installations can be found throughout Germany and all of Europe. In fact MIWE bakes on all five continents. MIWE is a leader in several sectors in the international baking business in which the company has made a name for itself.

The ASB was first constituted as the Australian Chapter Affiliate of the American Society, before simplifying its name in 1979 to the Australian Society of Baking. It retains its links with both the American Society of Baking and the British Society of Baking. The societies exchange publications and information, and can offer more direct help to one another's members by way of organising bakery visits and work experience. The primary purpose of the Australian Society of Baking is to provide a forum for learning more about the industry through meetings and seminars.
