Popular Labriola Baking Co. recently relocated to a spacious, 175,000-sq.-ft. plant in Alsip, Ill., that it remodeled and outfitted with six production lines, high-tech equipment, sophisticated conveying and picking/ordering stations and more, to prepare for future growth. Yet parts of the operation are strictly manual, to maintain traditional artisan quality.
Three times the size of its former bakery in Alsip, Ill., and much more complex, Labriola Baking Co.’s new production facility across town certainly demonstrates the organization’s come-uppance as one of Chicagoland’s premier artisan bakeries.
