Baron Foodtech finalizes feasibility study for Central African customer
An African bakery was considering building a greenfield bakery facility. After contacting Baron Foodtech and some negotiation, a clear way to proceed with project was agreed upon. The Baron Foodtech standard concept package to start Greenfield bakery fit very well to customers needs.
The African bakery market is one of the fastest growing in the world. Market is characterized by a limited supply of products and state-regulated prices. Also, availability of raw materials and energy is bringing challenges to the planning process.
At Baron Foodtech our main goal is not to start the project at any cost but help customer to make it financially feasible. Simulation of the investment technically and financially are key points when considering to build a new bakery. It’s possible to make it look better than it is, but at Baron Foodtech all information is based on facts. Energy, construction, equipment, labor, and other costs are always realistic and based on real life. Also, future forecasts are possible until some point.
‘’We were really happy to work with this customer and can’t wait for the next step which includes process simulation, 3D design and project management. Concept phase was done cost effectively completely remote in a few months’ timeline. Personnel involved in this were working from 6 different countries during the project. Now customer has comprehensive information package in his hands, which can be used in negotiations with stakeholders.”
“It’s much better to make investment decision when it’s based on facts.’’ says Mikko Lehtinen, CEO of Baron Foodtech.
