Bimbo Bakeries USA is building a new $75 million, state-of-the-art bakery in Upper Macungie that will bring more than 100 jobs to the area and produce bread and buns for the Northeast, the company said.
The new bakery is expected to begin operation in early 2014.
Bimbo Bakeries is building its new facility on 30 acres that it has purchased at 105 Boulder Drive. The site is across from Ocean Spray's new facility, which is currently under construction, township officials said.
This new bakery will enable the company to continue to serve its customers with "the highest quality and freshest baked goods while leveraging significant advances in baking technology that will make our operations more efficient," said David Margulies, a spokesman for the company, in an e-mail.
