Mixing the Right Ingredients for Growth
Operations are humming at the 56,000-square-foot Norwalk, Ohio, bakery. The facility’s 160 employees, nearly all wearing bouffant caps and what appear to be white lab coats, toil alongside large mixing, baking, and packaging machinery. Elaborate conveyers prepare, mix, bake, and pack plain, seeded, and double-cut hamburger buns at a rate of roughly 4,000 dozen per hour.
