Chicago / IL. (abc) Alpha Baking Company Inc. announced that it has bought two bakeries, one on the northwest side of Chicago, Illinois and another in Grand Rapids, Michigan. These purchases from ConAgra Foods increase Alpha Baking’s manufacturing facilities to six total across four states. The other facilities are located in Chicago (two production plants), one in La Porte, Indiana, and one in Manitowoc, Wisconsin. All four plants are certified kosher, and the Wisconsin plant is also certified organic. Without the two acquired bakeries, Alpha Baking counts 1’600 employees, more than 300 fresh delivery routes and 14 production lines. In addition to expanding current capacity, the acquisitions allow Alpha Baking to expand into sweet goods. «Alpha Baking has been producing high quality bread, buns, and rolls since 1979, and we will now utilize our experience and attention to customer service to operate in the sweet goods category. It is an exciting time for us», said Lawrence Marcucci, president and CEO of Alpha Baking. Sweet goods product capabilities include muffins, petit fours, cupcakes and pound cake, among other products.
