Automatic & connected divider-shaper Stradivario

What is KNEAD Bakery? This is the concept of French bakery-pastry based on Tradition, Quality and Seasonality. Since its creation, this bakery has always relied on the quality and freshness of its products. That's why the place has become hugely successful, more and more people want to discover this bakery which has become "the place to be" in Abu Dhabi. And the icing on the cake – a month ago the KNEAD bakery opened a pastry school.

After working in London with our divider-former Atoupains, Sébastien CHARRIER - pastry chef at KNEAD, decided, when he arrived in Abu Dhabi in 2021, to continue working with MERAND and to invest in the new connected automatic divider-shaper Stradivario. We talked with Sébastien and here is what he thinks about this machine:

“We produce a wide range of products on the Stradivario, such as baguettes, pavé bread, sandwiches, etc. It is a very versatile machine that allows us to produce very high-quality products. For me quality is paramount. I have already worked with MERAND machines, and I knew that I was buying quality by choosing the Stradivario. And I'm not disappointed with my choice. The machine is very quick and easy to use. Once all the recipes are pre-registered on the machine, it is very easy to use it. I also appreciate its compactness and ergonomics. It does not take up much space and fits perfectly into our bakery lab. With all its systems and accessories, it really is a great baker's tool, I recommend it with my eyes closed!"
