Automation for Products That Break the Mold.
Pretzels, braided loaves, flatbreads, shaped rolls — if your product doesn't fit standard equipment, LeMatic engineers a system that does. Built around your product from day one.
150+ specialty bakeries run on LeMatic systems
100%
of LeMatic specialty systems are custom-engineered to the customer's exact product profile
The specialty baker's challenges. Solved.
Off-the-shelf automation was never built for your product. We build it from scratch.
Non-Standard Shapes & Profiles
Pretzels, braided loaves, hoagie rolls, and flatbreads don't fit in standard infeed guides. Our adjustable lane systems and custom die sets are engineered around your specific product geometry — not the other way around.
Multi-SKU Production Runs
Specialty bakeries rarely produce a single product. Our quick-change tooling and modular conveyor configurations let you switch between completely different product types in minutes, not hours.
Delicate Product Integrity
Specialty products — seeded crusts, glazed surfaces, fragile scoring — can't survive rough handling. Our servo-controlled transport systems apply only the pressure your product needs.
Scaling Without Sacrificing Uniqueness
Your specialty product is your competitive advantage. We build systems that let you double or triple output while preserving every detail that makes your product distinctive in the market.

What specialty bakers say.
“We make 14 different pretzel formats. LeMatic built us a system that handles all of them on the same line. We haven't touched a single guide setting in 18 months.”
Robert M.
Twisted Grain Bakery, Chicago IL
“Our braided challah was impossible to automate — until LeMatic. They flew out, watched us bake for a day, and came back with a system that outperforms anything we could have imagined.”
Sarah L.

Every specialty system starts with your product, not ours.
Our engineers come to your facility, observe your production, and study your product before a single component is specified. The result is a system that fits your operation — not a standard platform modified to cope with your requirements.
- Custom infeed guides, lanes, and tooling for any product geometry
- Prototype tooling tested on your product before manufacturing
- Modular design for future product line expansion
- Full NSF-certified stainless construction, bakery washdown rated
What specialty bakers ask us.
Can you build a system for a product you've never handled before?
Yes. Our engineering team starts every specialty project with an on-site product audit. We study your product dimensions, weights, surface textures, and handling requirements before designing anything.
How long does a custom specialty system take to deliver?
Typical lead time for a fully custom system is 12–20 weeks from design approval. Simpler modifications to standard platforms can be delivered in 6–8 weeks.
Do you offer sample runs before we commit?
We bring prototype tooling to your facility and run your product through it before manufacturing begins. You sign off on the results before we build the final system.
What if our product changes over time?
All LeMatic specialty systems are designed for future adaptability. Tooling and guide sets can be updated independently, so your system evolves with your product line.
