Craftsmanship at its heart.
Modern in its execution

Entrepreneurial to get better every day

At Bakkerij de Paauw, we believe that those who keep innovating remain successful. For us, innovation is not a project, but a daily mindset: producing more efficiently, planning better, constantly learning and always seeking variety that meets our customers’ needs. We don’t do this alone.

We integrate production, transport and technology into a single chain

We use modern machinery and a streamlined process, but at heart we remain true to traditional craftsmanship. You can taste our passion in every product and see it reflected in the way we work together. Day in, day out, we face the same challenge alongside the supermarket: to make the customer happy.

our culture

Delivering top quality is what we do

At De Paauw, nobody sits back and waits. We honour our commitments and take responsibility for the outcome. Not because someone is watching, but because we take pride in our work.

We continue to learn and improve

We learn from our mistakes, document improvements and put them into practice. That way, we get a little better every day.

We work together as one team

Bakery, transport and technology form a single chain. We work without silos and help each other to move forward. The collective result always takes precedence over individual interests.

We deliver quality, every day

At De Paauw, quality is neither a matter of chance nor a one-off achievement. It is the result of attention to detail, discipline and craftsmanship, even when things get busy.

Cooperation with Malawi

De Paauw supports a breakfast programme in Malawi

Thanks to our partnership with Floja Malawi, the warehouse has been restocked with maize and the breakfast programme for the coming year is secured. Despite a poorer harvest and the extra manual work required to ensure quality, we have managed to build up sufficient stocks. In this way, together we ensure that children get a nutritious start to every day and we are building a strong foundation for their future.
More about this initiative
What about your sustainability efforts?

We are working towards specific targets for CO₂, energy, water and packaging. Not as a marketing ploy, but as part of our day-to-day responsibility.

Do you work with recruitment agencies?

No. We prefer to recruit directly. That way, we can really get to know you and you can get to know us. No middlemen, just an honest conversation about what you’re looking for and what we have to offer.

What are the working hours?

We work in shifts to ensure there is always fresh bread ready for the supermarkets. We’ll discuss which shifts suit you best during your interview.

Is there scope for further growth?

Yes, and that’s not just an empty promise. Many of our team leaders started out on the shop floor. We’d rather see who you can become than who you are right now.
