On May 21, 2024, the official opening of the new headquarters of Bakels Polska took place. The new office and warehouse complex is located in Łódź at 9 Stokowska Street in the Łódź Special Economic Zone.

Event

The Grand Premiere of Bakels Polska, as we called this meeting, took place on a beautiful, sunny May day. The weather was good and, more importantly, the invited customers, distributors and business partners who came to us from all over Poland were also good.

The ceremonial opening and symbolic ribbon cutting were performed by Mr. Patrick Gloggner, CEO of EMU Bakels (Switzerland) and Mr. Maciej Dega, Managing Director, Member of the Management Board of Bakels Polska Sp. z o. o.

“It is exciting to see the development of Bakels Polska under the leadership of Maciej Dega and his team over the last 15 years, during which Bakels has developed dynamically to become an important supplier of bakery and confectionery raw materials in Poland. This new building is a real milestone for Bakels Polska and the entire Bakels Group.

I would also like to thank all our customers for their cooperation. This investment in a new warehouse, baking center and offices is a sign of our commitment to continue supporting the rapidly growing bakery sector in Poland by providing our highest-class products and services.

This investment and the next ones we have planned are a commitment to remain in Poland as a long-term partner on the bakery market.”
Patrick Gloggner, CEO of EMU Bakels

All guests had the opportunity to get to know the Bakels headquarters “from the inside” by visiting the warehouses, offices and the Bakels Baking Centre and meet our entire team of employees, including those with whom they contact as part of cooperation.

The operation of the modern WMS (Warehouse Management System) was demonstrated in the warehouse, and in the Bakels Baking Centre, a team of Bakels Technologists prepared a demonstration exhibition of bakery and confectionery products.

The Renshaw brand, which is owned by the Bakels Group and Bakels Polska becomes the distributor, also had a great premiere on offer. Renshaw demonstration shows were conducted for us by Ms. Renata Martyna, decorator, confectioner, winner and juror of decorating competitions, among others. at the Expo Sweet industry fair.

About the investment

The facility was built in 2022-2023, and the plans and investment plot were prepared in 2018.

The building is located on a plot of 17,000 square meters and today it is a partial, initial investment. Development and expansion are planned as needed as part of the development of sales and investments in production in Poland.

The high-bay warehouse will accommodate over 4,000 pallets, and the office space will accommodate almost twice as many employees as we currently employ. We also associate this perspective with further development and new tasks facing Bakels Polska.

The technological heart of the company is the Bakels Polska Baking Centre, equipped with modern equipment that allows for carrying out tests, developing new recipes, but also organising training and workshops for customers.

We would like to thank all partners and guests who devoted their time to honor this event.
