American Pan^®, a Bundy Baking Solution, recently announced they were among those companies awarded the B.E.S.T. in Baking award for their innovative ePAN^®s. The ePAN^® and e²PAN have many advantages over standard bakery pans including reduced energy consumption, faster pan cooling and reduced wear on bakery equipment.

These pans are manufactured of high tensile strength aluminized steel, resulting in a pan that is thinner and lighter, yet substantially stronger than traditional pans. The new, higher gauge steel also allows the pan to heat up and cool down faster resulting in improved temperature control during proofing.

Gilbert Bundy, President of American Pan^®, commented “These pans were engineered to provide maximum operational and environmental benefits, while ensuring product integrity. We believe our customers will agree that the increased durability, decreased energy consumption and many other benefits of the ePAN^®s will provide them a great return on their investment.”

The ePAN^®s are available exclusively from American Pan^® and are offered with either of the company’s proprietary coatings, AMERICOAT^® Plus or DuraShield^®, to provide unparalleled product releases.
