A long family history

Gino Polin was an inventor, a visionary and a pioneer. He was able to look to the future, imagining what his talent could create, and had the courage to begin a journey that would continue for many years to come.
It was 1929 when he founded Ing Polin & C, a company producing ovens for baking and pastry goods. Even back then, the range already included electric deck ovens alongside traditional ovens.

Engineer Gino Polin successfully introduces technological modifications to existing versions, improving quality.

The company grows, driven by its success and riding the wave of economic development in the post-war period.
The decision is made to build a new production facility to better support the company’s increased output, meet the need to modernise production and capitalise on opportunities for growth.
The new Polin site opens in Verona.

In the sixties, Polin sees particular success in a segment it entered over a decade earlier: the production of spray booths for the automotive industry.
Driven by the economic boom and increased demand, this sector develops rapidly from both a technological and industrial perspective and Polin proves to be a pioneer, introducing cutting-edge solutions.

From the introduction of the first rack ovens, Polin plays a key role in their technological innovation, driving development to such a level that they soon become a truly effective alternative to deck ovens.
This is an innovative new solution for the baking industry.

One of the core aspects of the company ethos established by Gino Polin was the continuous pursuit of innovation.
This has always been a cornerstone of the company’s approach, enabling continuous growth over its history.
This is why it has consistently invested in and focused on its innovation and R&D department.

Mixer was launched in 1992, with the specific aim of conquering the mixer market and has become a leader in the sector. The decision to design and create quality products, for both artisan and industrial sectors, enabled development of all types of solutions and the acquisition of unique global expertise in the industry.

Today, Mixer offers a complete range of products suitable for various types of dough, from bread to biscuits, pastry and leavened products.

In 2012, we made an important decision enabling us to become energy self-sufficient.
We installed two large photovoltaic plants at our facilities in Verona and Nogarole Rocca. These have capacities of 951 kWp and 840 kWp, meeting all of the company’s energy demands.
This offers economic and environmental benefits. Each year, we avoid more than 1,000 tonnes of atmospheric CO2 emissions.

Polin presents BakeApp, innovative software designed to network multiple ovens, even if they are located across different sales outlets, allowing users to monitor operation and gather live production and consumption data.
Advanced functions include the ability to manage each oven remotely: the ideal solution for those supervising multiple locations or production plants.

Polin was the first company in the world to develop an industry 4.0 system specifically for bakeries, pizzerias and patisseries, bringing innovation even to small-scale production.

This turnkey solution is designed to make industry 4.0 benefits more accessible, including optimisation of production, more efficient management and smart maintenance, all through a single platform.

Vimek Bakery Automation is a company with over twenty years of experience in the production of industrial food-production systems, specialising in tunnel ovens and spiral systems, for proofing, chilling, freezing and drying.

The advanced design division and manufacturing capacity of its in-house production plant are the key strengths that have made Vimek a trusted partner providing clients with custom solutions.

We introduce a new design philosophy to the industrial sector, focusing on three key principles: optimal hygiene, ease of use and quick maintenance and product changeover.
Every aspect of the production line, from surfaces and connecting structures through to control software and systems for the replacement of components, is designed in line with this new vision.

Polin is officially added to the special register of historic brands of national interest.
This important recognition, awarded by the Italian Ministry of Enterprises and Made in Italy, is reserved to companies with a brand that has been registered for at least fifty years and is used to market products created by a business of national excellence historically rooted in Italy.
