Bowman Ingredients’ joint venture in South Africa is one of the largest food coatings manufacturers in the country; the only one that produces three different types of crumb. We are a leading producer of a wide range of dry food coatings for the value-added food industry, producing predusts, batters, breaders, tempuras, glazes, dry-mix marinades, stuffing mix and seasonings.
We pride ourselves on our friendly attitude, extra-mile service and support, as evidenced by our long-standing customer relationships – most have been with us for the past 20 years. We have a total of 90 people within the business, two dedicated gluten-free lines and a dedicated allergen blending line.
We use extrusion, sheeting and traditional baking production processes, from which we are able to offer a great value extruded crumb, a classic sheet breadcrumb that’s ideal for chicken products and our traditional yeasted premium crumb. Our premium crumb is full of flavour and can be made bespoke; ciabatta, ancient grain, lower sodium – we create many exclusive development ranges for our customers.
Our smaller blenders offer our customers more flexibility, including smaller minimum order quantities and the ability to pack in small Form Fill Seal packaging, ensuring less wastage on unopened packets. Our small and agile team can make quick decisions, offering very fast development turnaround times.
At Bowman Ingredients South Africa we build long-standing customer relationships founded on friendship, transparency and trust. Our customers rave not just about the quality of our coatings, but of our communication and service level, too. And that’s what makes us happy.
We’re committed to the Bowman Ingredients and Solina way of thinking. We aim to source our ingredients locally wherever possible. We’re working on renewable energy and almost completely recycle packaging. Any food waste from our production facility is turned into animal feed. And that’s just the start of our journey…
