- Gourmet Master Co Ltd (2723:TT) operates a global chain of bakery cafes under the 85 Degrees Bakery Cafe (85°C) brand, specializing in the production and wholesale of bakery products including pastries, breads, cakes, and western-style desserts; retail and wholesale of beverages such as individually brewed coffees from Guatemalan beans, teas, smoothies, and fruit juices; wholesale of bakery machinery; and chain store operations with franchising business. Founded in 1997 and headquartered in Taichung City, Taiwan, the company serves consumer markets primarily in Taiwan, China, Hong Kong, the United States, and Southeast Asia through more than 1,000 outlets worldwide, with Taiwan and the US as key profit centers. In October 2025, Gourmet Master announced its largest restructuring in five years, including the closure of over 40 unprofitable stores in China—exceeding 10% of its 441 outlets there as of mid-year—primarily in underperforming northern and southwestern regions such as Anhui, Beijing, Tianjin, Shandong, Sichuan, and Chongqing; alongside a supply chain overhaul involving adjustments to its "one major, three minor" production model centered in Kunshan, Jiangsu Province, with satellite plants in Fujian, Guangdong, and Hangzhou to enhance efficiency, cut costs, and stem ongoing losses that reached NT$200 million in China operations for the first half of 2025.
