A new INTERSPAR Hypermarkets bakery facility opened in Marchtrenk, Austria, to produce bread and pastries using regional ingredients and local craftsmanship.
Located in the heart of Upper Austria, this new facility spans across 3,800m² on two floors, with 70m² of dedicated baking space. With a construction time of 15 months and an investment of €19.7 million, the facility will produce 130 different types of bread, pastries and confectionery products made from ingredients sourced in Austria.
The new bakery combines state-of-the-art production technologies with traditional craftsmanship. A wide variety of ovens are used in the almost 70m² baking area, including an eight-day oven and four rack ovens.
The facility works completely without fossil fuels and relies on heat recovery from oven exhaust air and refrigeration system waste heat, as well as 100% green electricity. The system is also operated with 100% natural CO2 as a refrigerant and can be used as an air-to-water heat pump in the winter months.
The bakery uses the spatial proximity to the SPAR Austria regional headquarters for efficient logistics processes and synergies and will now supply all INTERSPAR Hypermarkets as well as selected SPAR and EUROSPAR branded stores in Upper Austria and Salzburg.
