Bimbo said the additional facility will allow it to keep up with demand for its products while “leveraging significant advances in baking technology” that will make its operations “more efficient”.
Construction of the 240,000 sq ft LEED-certified plant is expected to begin in a few months and be completed by the end of the year.
The bakery is expected to create around 100 jobs when it begins operation in early 2014.
