US-based CSM Bakery Solutions, is a global leader for bakery ingredients, products and services for retail and food service markets. Recently CSM announced they plan on selling their California based BakeMark Division.

BakeMart has been around since 1998 and is a subsidiary that provides services through a network of 25 distribution centers across the United States and Canada.

They deliver a range of products, ingredients and supplies to the food industry under brands which include Westco, Trigal Dorado and BakeSense.

CSM president and CEO Marianne Kirkegaard said “The divestiture will allow us to grow our business in Europe and North America by focusing on our value-added bakery products and ingredients portfolio and allow BakeMark, under new ownership, to further strengthen their already strong capabilities and reputation as the industry’s supply and distribution market leader in North America.”

CSM Bakery Solutions has appointed Harris Williams & Co., an investment banking group, to help further the sale.
