Custom Baking Pans Manufacturer
A long-established name in the Asia-Pacific baking industry, Mackies has built custom baking pans for commercial bakeries since 1946. We design and engineer every product in Australia and supply bakeries, food manufacturers and OEM partners across Australia, New Zealand, Asia, the Middle East, North America and beyond.
Why work with a custom bakeware manufacturer
Off-the-shelf baking pans rarely match the exact specifications a production line demands. Custom bakeware is built to your oven dimensions, product weights and throughput requirements — eliminating workarounds and maximising output. As a specialist manufacturer, Mackies works directly with your engineering and production teams to develop pans, trays, moulds and racks that integrate seamlessly into your bakery operations.
What we manufacture
Every category is built custom to your specification, or drawn from our 530+ die library — then coated in Australia and backed by a lifetime workmanship warranty.
Industrial bread pans & strap sets
340g to 900g+ capacities, singles and strapped sets, with drop-on lids and covers for lidded loaves.
Bun & roll system trays
Indented trays matched to your line pitch and depanning system — hamburger, roll and bun formats.
Baguette & specialty trays
Perforated and non-perforated channels — baguette, Vienna, hot dog, friand and custom profiles.
Muffin & cake trays
Self-cutting, standard, mini and Texas (88mm cup) configurations in custom cup counts and layouts.
Flat, sheet & perforated trays
16" and 18" trade, Euro 400×600 and Gastronorm formats; 3- and 4-sided, perforated or solid.
Racks, cooling wires & handling
Stainless cooling wires, trolley and storage racks, and bakery-line handling equipment.
Engineered and proven before a single pan is made
Every custom project is modelled, analysed and validated up front — so the tooling we cut is right the first time, and the pans perform on your line.
CAD design & modelling
Full AutoCAD models that integrate with your line and other equipment suppliers, with weight and design validation before any steel is cut.
FEA analysis
Heat-transfer modelling and durability testing to prove bake performance and pan life under real production conditions.
Tooling & samples
Sample production validated for bake characteristics in your own facility, with on-site sign-off before mass production begins.
Mass production
Full runs manufactured exactly to the approved technical sign-off, on automated, validated processes for batch-to-batch consistency.
How a custom pan project runs
One team owns the project from first drawing to first bake.
Send your requirements
Drawings, oven and line specs, product weights and throughput. A stock die reference or a competitor pan sample works too.
Technical review — 24 hours
Our engineering team checks your requirements against the 530+ die library and coating systems.
Quote — a further 24–48 hours
Pricing, tooling path and lead time, laid out clearly.
Prototype & tooling
Existing die where possible, or custom tooling cut to spec — proven in a sample run before production.
Production
Your full pan set manufactured, coated in Australia under a Chemours™ licence, and warranty-backed.
530+ die shapes — chances are we already have your tooling
With over 530 existing die shapes and tooling configurations, much of what a bakery needs already exists. Where it doesn't, we design and cut custom tooling to your exact specification.
- Custom dies engineered to your drawings, or reverse-engineered from a sample pan
- Folded or seamless construction to suit the product, line and cleandown regime
- Material gauges matched to the job — 0.55–0.75mm on pan sets, 0.70–1.2mm on bun trays
- Assembly by projection welding, spot welding and riveting for strength and pan life
- Substrates selected for even heat flow — high-tensile aluminised steel or hardened aluminium
- Strap and system-tray design for automated lines, including Mecatherm compatibility
Coated in Australia, under a Chemours™ licence
Teflon™-class fluoropolymer systems, applied in Australia by the only licensed Chemours industrial coating applicator in Australia and New Zealand — and recoatable rather than replaced.
- MackEZE®Mackies' own Teflon™-class fluoropolymer, applied in a multi-step process for commercial baking.
- PTFE (Teflon™)Industry-standard non-stick for pans, trays and general bakeware.
- PFAHigher-performance oil-free release — around 3,500–4,000 releases, with superior chemical and heat resistance.
- Hybrid (NS 6500)Premium three-coat fluoropolymer — 5,500–6,000 oil-free releases and excellent abrasion resistance.
Lasts 8–10× longer than standard glaze, FDA food-contact compliant for its intended use, and applied to Chemours quality standards with adhesion testing, thickness checks and full traceability. More on our coatings →
Built to last — and managed for the long run
Mackies fluoropolymer coatings last 8–10× longer than standard glaze, and most production bakeries recoat on a 2–5 year cycle rather than replacing tooling.
Worn pans and trays are recoated in Teflon™ in Australia — staged in tranches around your baking schedule, and we actively recoat other manufacturers' bakeware. Beyond the pans themselves, we help you plan your bakeware:
- Site audit & evaluation of your bakeware, on your floor
- Training and support workshops for your production team
- Product lifespan management — planned recoat and replacement scheduling
On a rolling annual cycle we audit your pan sets, finalise requirements with you and plan supply ahead of need — so your bakeware is scheduled, not scrambled.
Engineered for value
Lean, automated and validated production — a toast pan is handled by only a handful of people from raw coil to packed pallet. We compete on engineered value, not just price.
A global independent manufacturer
One of a small number of independent industrial bakeware manufacturers worldwide — designed and engineered in Australia and supplied to bakeries across Australia, New Zealand, Asia, the Middle East, North America and Europe.
Lifetime workmanship warranty
Every Mackies product carries a lifetime workmanship warranty — we stand behind our manufacturing and coating for the life of the product.
