Bakery Thomas Lehr
(Germany)
Handmade pasta sells like hot-cakes, even abroad 
In his daytime job Thomas Lehr is a shop assistant in a food shop in Altheim in Baden-Württemberg. His cellar, however, is a special kind of workshop. He produces all kinds of noodles. In addition to fresh egg and spelt noodles he has also mastered the art of making exotic varieties, such as basil-, tomato- or pizza-flavoured noodles. A TV documentary in which a German baker, Rudi Schumacher, described his experiences with Grander Water made Thomas Lehr aware of Grander Technology. According to Schumacher, dough made with revitalised water rises better. Thomas Lehr and his wife Sabine wanted to try this out for themselves. Their experience with noodles dough has also been positive. Although there are many noodle factories nearby, handmade pasta à la Lehr sells like hot cakes, and deliveries to places as far away as Norway are nothing special. Thomas Lehr: “Our turnover has grown by 80%. I sell my noodles in health-food and farm shops. Business is booming so much that I have now started to bake bread for an organic-food shop! |
