Case study: Pace Processing streamlines throughput on baked goods line
Amid rapid growth, Pace Processing has relied on automated tray forming, and case packing and sealing systems from Wexxar Bel to improve throughput and uptime.
Rapid growth presents both a unique opportunity and a substantial challenge for food manufacturers. This often requires that companies make significant changes to their production lines without missing a beat, as stalled output can represent significant lost earnings. By investing in the right equipment and streamlining throughput, companies can radically improve efficiency, reduce the amount of time spent fixing problems, and meet new demand as soon as it arises.
Pace Processing (Pace) is an example of such a company. For the past almost 20 years, this commercial bakery located in British Columbia, Canada has experienced consistent growth. Since 2014, it has seen double-digit growth rates every year, producing a range of frozen foods for the North American retail and foodservice industries. These include cakes, baked goods, pizzas, pizza toppings, gluten-free toppings, and other baked goods. The company maintains six production plants with close to 97,000 square feet of space.
