Acquisition of St. Michel (France) - a biscuit producing family enterprise with more than 90 years standing. St. Michel continues to be the national brand for Breton biscuits and cakes. Bahlsen relocates cake production from its factory in Oldenburg to the nearby production plant in Varel. The newly integrated production facility for cakes enables innovation in technology. Hermann Bahlsen changed the English word "cakes" into "Keks". Some years later, the new term was officially approved and incorporated in the German dictionary. The company moved into the new factory building in Lister Straße and the new headquarters in Podbielskistraße. Pictures, sculptures, and ornaments created a pleasant working environment. Several social institutions arose. Bahlsen increases its commitment abroad, opening up new sales markets in the Middle and Far East. Offices are opened in Dubai and a year later in Shanghai. On 1 July 2014 Bahlsen becomes 125 years old. In October 2014, the anniversary is celebrated officially. For the first time in the history of the company, all 2,500 employees from around the world are invited to Hannover.
