OUR STORY

THE BEGINNING OF OUR GLUTEN-FREE JOURNEY

Lavina Bakery was founded by Zoltán Dömény in 1990, and over the years, it has become a key supplier for major retail chains across Hungary.

As the number of gluten-sensitive consumers grew, the market lacked local producers capable of supplying large supermarket chains. As a result, these stores had to rely on imported gluten-free products. One of our customers approached us with the idea to launch a dedicated gluten-free facility – and that’s where our journey began.

This was no simple task. Strict conditions had to be met, so we built an entirely independent facility for gluten-free production.

We source our ingredients exclusively from certified gluten-free suppliers, test each batch with rapid tests, and perform regular lab analysis on finished products. Our facility is certified and AOECS-audited, ensuring the highest safety and quality standards.

We believed then – and still do – that gluten-free is the future, as more people are diagnosed with celiac disease or gluten intolerance every year. Our goal was to make gluten-free products more accessible.

We created our product range to include not just essential breads, rolls, and baguettes, but also sweet pastries, pies, sponge cakes, filled and topped products.
We continuously expand and improve our assortment to better meet our customers’ needs every day.

No-No Facility

Our Németkér plant was launched in 2020 and marked the beginning of one of Europe’s most advanced gluten-free bakeries. The state-of-the-art, automated production line was completed in 2023, and production started that same year.

Operations follow strict hygiene protocols:

  • Nothing except raw materials is allowed into the production area.

  • Entry is only permitted with proper sanitary workwear.

  • Access is controlled via personal keycards and dual photo-cell doors.

These measures guarantee 100% protection against cross-contamination.
