MECATHERM's Baguette Factory in Angola marks first success for turnkey concept to industrialize bread production
Just one year after the launch of its turnkey solution, "The Baguette Factory", MECATHERM has announced that it has completed its first project in Viana, Luanda, the capital of Angola. The DIMASSABA - Le Comptoir d'Export group chose MECATHERM, one of the global leaders in industrial bread and pastry products, for a turnkey solution that industrializes bread production. The "DimaPao" factory, which will provide the first industrial bread production line in the country, was opened on 6 February 2019 and many local representatives attended the inauguration event. The country's Minister of Industry, Bernarda Martins, the French ambassador of Angola, Sylvain Itté, and the delegation from French network of entrepreneurs, MEDEF International, took the opportunity to welcome this brand-new project by attending the inauguration alongside Hussein Bourji, President of the export company DIMASSABA - Le Comptoir d'Export and Olivier Sergent, President of MECATHERM.
The Baguette Factory is a complete solution including a fully automated production line with a customised support in project management ranging from finding financial partners and conducting technical studies, to setting up the factory, recruitment, personal training and technical support. This unique global approach allows investors in growing countries to move into the industrial bakery sector, regardless of their level of familiarity with the industry or with managing large-scale projects.
