The International Bakery Awards is delighted to announce the International Union of Bakers and Confectioners (UIBC) as an official supporter of the 2025 Awards. As a global federation representing the interests of the bakery and pastry professions, UIBC brings nearly a century of heritage, expertise, and leadership to this year’s celebrations of industry excellence.
Founded in 1931, UIBC was born out of early post-World War I cooperation among European bakers, supported by the ILO and WHO. Originally established as the Union Internationale de la Boulangerie (UIB), it has grown into a global institution headquartered in Madrid, Spain. Today, UIBC continues to strengthen international collaboration, promote professional excellence, and highlight the cultural and nutritional importance of bread and pastry craftsmanship worldwide.
“The International Bakery Awards are made possible through the valued support of organisations such as UIBC,” said Joseph Clarke, Editor of International Bakery Magazine. “Their long-standing commitment to the global bakery and confectionery community reflects the very spirit of our awards: to recognise the individuals and companies driving progress, creativity, and excellence across the sector.”
Supporters play a vital role in the success of the International Bakery Awards, helping to amplify important developments and endorse the achievements that define excellence in the bakery world. With UIBC’s support, the 2025 Awards will continue to celebrate the very best of the industry, ensuring that groundbreaking contributions receive the recognition they truly deserve.
