Bimatic is a Lebanese bakery equipment manufacturer started in 1955 by Ahmad Mohamad Bakri, and the business is still run by his family, with his son Khaled Ahmad Bakri as CEO and owner. The company is known for fully automatic production lines for Arabic pita bread, and its range has grown to cover tannour, wrap, naan, lavash, tortilla and chapati lines. Beyond flatbread, Bimatic builds French bread equipment such as mixers, dividers, moulders and ovens, plus machines for pies and pizza, kaak and breadsticks, and oriental sweets like katayef, konafa and baklawa. Its bread lines are sized from small bakeries up to industrial plants turning out thousands of loaves an hour. Manufacturing takes place in Jadra in the Chouf, with the administrative office in Beirut. The company's slogan, roughly "your loaf that hands do not touch," sums up its focus on automation.
