Viennoiserie features two types of products: thaw & serve, and fresh pre-packed. Délifrance also makes croissants, pains au chocolat, pains aux raisins and chocolate twists.
“While thaw-and-serve products are more common-place across Europe, fresh pre-packed products are quite unique to the UK market,” according to a statement from Délifrance.
This year marks the tenth anniversary of the opening of the first Viennoiserie production line.
Andrew Cole, the managing director for Délifrance’s business in the UK, said: “Wigston has been a fantastic location for us for decades now. Being so central, it enables great connections with customers, and means we can deliver the freshest products each day – something vital for Viennoiserie.”
