Our COmpany

We are Europe and Asia’s leading flatbreads company!

With our passion for good foods and experience as third generation flatbread bakers, Signature Flatbreads has grown from a small family business to a global leader in flatbread production, with state-of-the-art bakeries in both the UK and India.

Signature Flatbreads is on the rise, having taken home the 2016 Bakery Manufacturer of the Year award at the 29th annual Bakery Industry Awards. The win comes after the opening of a £10m state-of-the-art extension to the Dunstable bakery earlier this year. Charles Eid says:

“We are delighted to win the Bakery Manufacturer of the Year award. We have an exceptional team of people who are absolutely committed to delivering stand out bakery products and outstanding customer satisfaction in what is a very competitive marketplace, so to be recognised for the quality of our work and products means a great deal.”

going with thE grain

Consumer demand for lighter, low calorie options, along with new product innovation and popular high street trends, such as breakfast wraps, is transforming the bread industry.

The major bakery innovation to really appeal to this changing consumer demand in recent years has been the sandwich thin, which generates around £62m in annual sales. But, the big question is what’s next?

We’ve seen a lot of ‘healthy’ innovation in fresh artisan breads, with the addition of vegetables and seeds popular with consumers. We’re now also seeing that influence in the pre-prepared alternative sandwich carrier market, with sales of flatbread sandwiches growing, and product innovation increasingly focusing on lighter options.

In our time, at Honeytop and now Signature Flatbreads, we’ve seen a lot of trends

come and go. But, with supermarkets clearing space on the shelves for alternative, lighter bread products, it looks like the demand for these options shows no sign of slowing down.

ExpanSion projEctS

We have completed the construction of a large expansion project which has seen £10m invested in two new production lines and associated facilities to meet the expanding capacity needed for our rapidly growing company.
