Bread manufacturer Gardenia Bakery Philippines Inc. is expanding its capacity and distribution networks across the country by adding another bread plant to support projections of increased demand in the next two years.
Gardenia Bakery Philippines president Simplicio Umali said the company would announce the location of the new plant upon the approval of the project by its mother unit.
“We have to get this approved by our head office because they are listed in the stock exchange in Singapore and they have to announce this to the stock exchange,” he said.
The company is looking at several locations, he said. The new plant will be the company’s fourth facility that will support operations of the three bread plants in Laguna for the Luzon market, Cebu for the Visayas and Misamis Oriental for Mindanao.
Umali said the company was assessing the investments need to put up the new facility.
