A producer of European-style breads, the 100,000-square-foot Newark, N.J., bakery had ramped up operations in order to ship nationwide and to Canada. But its physical plant had fallen short of its needs. To be precise, the bakery needed more freezer space to store its 150-plus stock-keeping units (SKUs) of frozen par-baked and fully baked rolls and breads. “Because of insufficient freezer capacity, we sometimes had to switch products on the same production line a few times a day, which reduced productivity,” said Carlos Vieira, founder and president of Vieira’s Bakery, in a press release. “Adding freezer capacity was essential before implementing our fourth production line and critical to our expansion efforts.” Trouble was, there was little room for expansion. While Vieira was able to buy some additional land next to his plant, it did not offer sufficient space to construct a new building.
