Kamps Backstube bakery

Kamps is one of Germany's most recognized bakery chains, known for its traditional baked goods, bread, and pastries. Founded in 1982 by Heiner Kamps in Düsseldorf, the brand grew rapidly through a franchise model, becoming a staple in German train stations and city centers. The 'Backstube' concept emphasizes an artisanal atmosphere where products are often finished or baked fresh on-site. The manufacturing mainly takes place in regional large-scale bakeries in Germany to ensure daily fresh delivery to their numerous locations. Throughout its history, Kamps has seen several changes in ownership, including being part of the Barilla Group. As of the current period, it is owned by Groupe Le Duff, a major French player in the global bakery and restaurant sector, which continues to position Kamps as a premium German bakery brand while leveraging international logistics.
