Together, the brands provide reliable equipment for bakeries, supermarkets, restaurants, pizzerias and industrial production environments.
What is the state of the market where you are currently active?
Å.E: The professional bakery equipment market remains active but also challenging. Customers are facing increased pressure from rising costs, labour shortages and the need for more efficient production. As a result, there is a growing demand for reliable, energy-efficient and automated solutions that help bakeries improve capacity, consistency and profitability.
Sveba Dahlen and Glimek are well positioned in this market, offering complete bakery solutions that support customers from dough handling to baking. Our focus is on helping bakeries, supermarkets, restaurants and industrial producers meet changing market demands with high-quality equipment, strong support and a low total cost of ownership.
What can you tell us about market trends?
Å.E: Key market trends in professional bakery equipment include increased demand for energy-efficient solutions, automation and equipment that help customers reduce labour dependency while maintaining consistent product quality. Bakeries are also looking for flexible production solutions that can handle a wider range of products, higher capacity and changing consumer preferences.
Sustainability, total cost of ownership and reliable after-sales support are becoming increasingly important decision factors. At the same time, customers expect equipment that is easy to use, easy to maintain and built for long-term performance. Sveba Dahlen and Glimek are responding to these trends with complete, reliable solutions that support efficient production from dough handling to baking.
What are the most innovative products/services marketed?
Å.E: Among the most innovative solutions marketed by Sveba Dahlen are our patented IBS system, our efficient Counterflow technology and the Cascad Steam System.
IBS – Increased Baking Surface – is a patented system developed to ensure that all products in the oven receive equal heat from all sides. By using alternate rotation during the baking process, IBS creates faster, more even and more energy-efficient baking results. This improves product quality while also helping customers reduce operating costs.
Our Counterflow technology is designed to maximize energy efficiency. The oven air is gradually heated as it passes through the heat exchanger and meets increasingly hot flue gases, resulting in high efficiency and reduced heating costs.
The Cascad Steam System quickly provides powerful, clean steam for a continuous and uninterrupted baking process. Built with aluminium rods and stainless steel, the system ensures rapid recovery and consistent steam performance — supporting excellent crust, volume and shine across a wide range of bakery products.

What estimations do you have for the second half of 2026?
Å.E: For the second half of 2026, we expect the market to remain active, with continued focus on efficiency, energy performance and production reliability. We are seeing increasing interest in our oven solutions, particularly within industrial bakery applications, where capacity, consistency and long-term operating costs are key decision factors.
At the same time, bakeries of different sizes are becoming more aware of the value of investing in complete production solutions. A Glimek bakery production line can help streamline workflows, optimize costs and increase flexibility in daily production — allowing bakeries to adapt more efficiently to changing demand and product ranges.
Overall, we see good opportunities for Sveba Dahlen and Glimek in the second half of 2026, especially among customers looking to future-proof their production with reliable, efficient and scalable bakery solutions.
