Industrial Bakery Equipment

The Henry Group designs, manufactures and installs industrial bakery equipment for wholesale bakeries, mainly for proofing, baking and cooling, along with the loaders, conveyors and unit equipment that connect a line. We build in Greenville, Texas, have installed bakery equipment since 1976, and design custom equipment when no standard machine fits.

About The Henry Group

Expertise

THG has worked in industrial baking for 50 years, first installing lines and then building the equipment, so every machine is designed by people who know how lines go together.

Quality

Loaders, unloaders and control panels are assembled and tested before they ship, and THG makes the replacement parts that keep its equipment running.

Customization

Each line is engineered to the product, the bake profile and the building, from oven widths and proofer layouts to conveyors that fit tight spaces.

Innovation

PLC controls with stored product recipes, servo loaders and unloaders, and integrated catalytic oxidizers are built into THG equipment.
