Panike (Portugal)

PANIKE is a family owned company, founded by Henrique’s father 34 years ago. Throughout the years Panike has become a leading producer in the
Portuguese market as well as across the globe for frozen bakery and pastry products.

Many changes have occurred since the first Choripans, which were made by hand and sold locally. Now, with several state-of-the-art factories including fully
automatic production lines, the focus was clearly set on innovation while still remaining an ambassador of the Portuguese traditional culture with symbolic products like Pastel de Nata.

They wanted to automatically pack Rustic breads in a wide range of sizes from 50gr. to 1000gr and were also aiming to pack small bread products inside bags in small quantities. Together with Pattyn they worked out a solution which is able to pack the entire range of products.
