Philadelphia / PA. (tb) Tasty Baking Company marks its official grand opening event of the company´s new, modernized, LEED-registered (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) bakery at the Philadelphia Navy Yard. Upon approval from the United States Green Building Council, the new, 345’000 square foot home of Tastykake will be the world´s largest «green» bakery, the company said in a press release (PDF) – featuring energy-efficient HVAC, water conservation, the use of recycled building materials and day-light harvesting, among other environmentally efficient components. The transition away from its 88-year-old, six-story Hunting Park baking facility to its new, LEED-registered bakery follows the move of Tasty Baking Company´s corporate headquarters to a LEED Gold Certified building at the Philadelphia Navy Yard Corporate Center in April 2009. «The opening of the new bakery – and its place as the greenest bakery in the world – is the successful culmination of our manufacturing strategy to transform the brand», said Charles P. Pizzi, President and Chief Executive Officer of Tasty Baking Company.
