Welcome to Sugden Ltd

Sugden Ltd were formed in 1973 and in the period since our formation have worked extremely hard to develop our equipment and relationships with our customers.

The core of our business is in designing, manufacturing, installing and commissioning bespoke industrial baking equipment for English Muffin, Crumpets, Pancakes and the VanderPol brand Stroop Waffles, Belgian Waffles, Funcakes and Soft Waffles, aiming to meet individual customer needs. We also manufacture a range of Multi-Plants which have the ability to produce a range of batter products and can also incorporate sheeted products. For the Craft Bakers we developed the Mini Hotplate.

History

We became part of the Baldwin Holdings Group in 2014 which was a watershed in terms of our horizons being broadened and winning contracts in the Southern Hemisphere for the first time, we have also had significant success in winning contracts in the USA for our English Muffin equipment as well as sustaining our reputation in Europe and the UK as a world class manufacturer of industrial baking lines. In 2019 we moved into a 35,000 square foot purpose built new factory which would allow us to manufacture and assemble up to 5 Lines at any one time.

We currently have 38 employees at Sugden and the same at Baldwin Technical Services our sister electrical controls company who are also part of Baldwin Holdings Group.
