Philadelphia / PA. (tb) Tasty Baking Company announced that the company has transitioned the remaining two production lines from the company´s Hunting Park facility to its new, state-of-the-art, LEED-registered (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) bakery at the Philadelphia Navy Yard. The company´s 88-year-old, six-story Hunting Park bakery in the Allegheny West area of Philadelphia has now officially closed for production. Tasty Baking Company announced in April that it had entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement with TKMG Associates, L.P. and its guarantor, Metro Development Company. The full operation of the seven production lines at Tasty Baking´s new 345’000 square foot manufacturing and distribution facility occurs just over three years after the company announced its strategic transition plan in May 2007. The one-story bakery at the Philadelphia Navy Yard features new, highly automated baking equipment and a «straight line flow» from production to packaging to warehouse that opens significant opportunity for product and packaging innovation, while achieving more efficiency in the baking of Tastykake´s core products. Currently registered under LEED and awaiting official certification from the U.S. Green Building Council, the bakery will be the world´s largest «green» bakery, featuring environmentally-friendly components such as water conservation, the use of recycled building materials, day-light harvesting and energy-efficient HVAC systems.
