IREKS – Your partner for aroma and taste

As a family-run, international Company Group with roots in Kulmbach, Germany, IREKS brings tradition and innovation together. Active in over 90 countries, we are your first contact for baking and brewing.

From artisan bakeries to industrial baking businesses, customers make use of our high-quality baking ingredients – including improvers, bases, mixes, malt products, and sourdoughs. The aim? Bring out the best in bread, rolls, and sweet pastries. Our in-house malthouses produce a broad spectrum of base and specialty malts that enable both major breweries and craft beer pioneers to create beers full of character.

The best part: Our expertise doesn’t stop at baking and brewing! Dedicated product lines for flavorings and ice cream complete our portfolio.
