September, 2002 - Harlan
Bakeries moves into newly constructed Corporate Office
and Dry Warehouse
Avon, Indiana - Harlan Bakeries has been growing again and has just moved into their new 48,000 square foot
Corporate Office; Research and Development Test Kitchen; dry warehouse and additional manufacturing space. The office is located on the same site
as their manufacturing and frozen warehouse facility in Avon, Indiana. It is a two-story building with a reception area, mailroom, customer
service, sales department, human resources department and conference rooms all located on the first floor.
The owners of the corporation, the accounting department, the IT department and additional conference rooms occupy the second floor.
The Corporate Office is internet connected
to its off-site bakeries and partners. The newly occupied
corporate offices will continue to support the Avon
facility as well as taking on additional overhead responsibilities
from our three other manufacturing facilities.
Directly behind the new Corporate Office is a large new Research and Development Test Kitchen. This area is used to develop
new products, conduct small training groups for staff and retail persons and train quality assurance personnel. The old R & D Kitchen will be used
as an expansion area for our Product Development Team.
Just a few steps further, past the new R & D Kitchen and you enter into the dry goods warehouse addition.
This area opened to Harlan Bakeries production facility in July of 2002. The new Dry Warehouse area allowed for all dry goods storage to
be held in close proximity to all the manufacturing areas.
Doug H. Harlan, Executive Vice President said, "Our new offices help us to bring together various departments and give us
room to grow, expand and consolidate our facilities."
Harlan Bakeries, Inc., established in 1991, produces Harlan Bigger Better Bagels and Harlan Giant Gourmet Bagels
brands, private-label bagels, contract manufacturing, and products for in-store bakeries. Harlan now produces more than just bagels.
Harlan Bakeries operates four production facilities. This includes its 200,000+ square foot flagship facility and corporate office
in Avon, Indiana. Other plants are located in Lafayette, Indiana (pie and cake production); Denver, Colorado (bagel production);
and Kentville, Nova Scotia, Canada (fruit pie production).
