About
Presentation of the company by its owner/managing director Philippe Retailleau.
Prior opening my own company, I have experience of almost 10 years in baguettes’ vending machines. This taught me a lot about this activity, allowed me to meet many artisan bakers and get to know them and their needs and also allowed me to invent a major innovation that I protected by a patent. This brings significant advantages such as reliability of sales, high capacity despite its compactness.

Ici baguettes
A single Ultra complete and Ultra competitive model
Bread for everyone, regardless of time and place: it is with this objective that Ici Baguettes was created in 2019.
The company, offices and manufacturing is based in Verrières in Anjou (near Angers, in Maine-et-Loire, France), has developed a new automatic bread vending machine.
The technological advantages of this machine quickly positioned Ici Baguettes as one of the leaders in this growing market, driven by values of proximity and very strong demand, particularly in rural areas deserted by certain essential businesses such as professionals in the the bakery.

In its first year of operation in France, Ici Baguettes had managed to sell more than 600,000 baguettes through this still new network of vending machines. A sales volume that exceeded one million products in 2021.
In the midst of a health crisis, our bread vending machine has established itself as a credible and healthy alternative for baguette producers forced to reduce their store capacity, and to apply very strict physical distance protocols inside their bakery.
The Ici Baguettes vending machines are offered at the best price for rental or purchase to bakery players wishing to:
- maintain their service 24 hours a day, 7 days a week
- Continue to offer fresh bread outside the opening hours of their store
- Supplying fresh produce to population areas deprived of local shops, without having to deploy an expensive “door-to-door” delivery circuit across an entire city.
The Ici Baguettes offer is part of a “win-win” strategy:
- for populations living in the most landlocked territories of France
- for the artisan baker who, thanks to the installation of bread vending machines at very affordable prices,
- has the possibility of conquering market shares by reaching additional demand and/or a converted public or confronted with new uses or suffered (staggered hours, lack of time which justifies the need for fast service from automatic bread vending machines, etc.)
Our bread vending machine also finds its place:
- In public places with heavy traffic such as shopping centres, strategic and very busy roads in town centres, a village square, a car park exit, etc.
- Workplaces, everywhere in France (tertiary companies, industries, etc.)
- Leisure sites, such as campsites with no bakery and far from commercial areas....
A bread vending machine without equal
The bread vending machine designed in France and marketed by Ici Baguettes is based on a unique and innovative technology which makes it one of the most efficient and competitive on the market:
The machine, which takes up very little space (only 80cm X 80cm footprint) nevertheless has a large storage capacity: it is possible to store up to 86 baguettes, with two choices possible for the consumer between ordinary baguette bread and traditional baguette bread.
The compactness of our automatic bread vending machine reflects a great optimization of their structure: the machine is in fact designed in a insulated box with a double stainless steel wall which guarantees perfect preservation of the bread and avoids the risk of condensation conducive to appearance of mold. The control of the hygrometry and the internal temperature, maintained at a stable level of 19°C, makes it possible to serve the user products at the same price as in the bakery, and with the same baking quality: the breads stored in our automatic baguette vending machines keep their original flavor and their tasty, crispy texture!
A lacquered aluminum coating ensures our vending machines have an unfailing longevity and protects them from the risk of corrosion. A particularly significant advantage in areas of France marked by high humidity, such as by the sea.
The innovative distribution system, patented by the manufacturer of Ici Baguettes vending machines, eliminates the waiting time between two bread sales.
Buy or rent a smart bread distributor produced in France
ICI Baguettes having chosen to ban all options from its catalog, the best functionalities are directly integrated into its vending machines manufactured in France and produced in series, including the bank card reader (complete with a coin mechanism that accepts coins) and the overhang roof to protect the user in bad weather.
Finally, the baguette distributor is connected to a computer application that monitors bread transactions directly and alerts on restocking needs in order to avoid a break in the product supply.
Our digital service also makes it possible to report any incidents, by sending e-mails, and to analyze the level of bread sales according to the time of day, with a view of the method of payment preferred by customers.
Our bread vending machines are produced in our workshops in Verrières en Anjou (Maine-et-Loire). We therefore bring you the guarantee of an appliance entirely made in France, country of bread by
excellence.
