Crown Bakeries Expands Bun Production with New Line

Brentwood, Tennessee - Crown Bakeries is accelerating growth by expanding bun production at its Pleasant Prairie, Wisconsin facility.

Built with future expansion in mind, the plant now supports advanced production lines and improved efficiency across operations.

The facility, originally designed with expansion space, now includes two croissant lines and a newly installed bun production line.

This setup allows the company to scale quickly while maintaining flexibility in manufacturing.

The new bun line is designed for high efficiency, safety, and product quality.

With a clean layout and modern equipment, the system improves workflow and supports consistent output.

Advanced automation helps reduce manual tasks while improving accuracy in dough handling and portion control.

The production process includes mixing, dividing, proofing, baking, and cooling, all supported by integrated systems.

Equipment such as automated dividers, proofers, ovens, and cooling systems work together to maintain product consistency and speed.

New technology ensures accurate dough weight control and better product uniformity.

Training is also a key focus. Employees receive hands-on instruction to operate the advanced systems and maintain quality standards.

The company continues to build a skilled workforce that can support high-speed production.

In addition to buns, the facility continues to produce croissants using upgraded lines and freezing capabilities.

This allows the plant to handle both fresh and frozen products efficiently.

Automation plays a major role in reducing labor needs while improving output.

Systems such as vision inspection, metal detection, and automated packaging help ensure quality and safety throughout the process.

Looking ahead, Crown Bakeries plans to expand further by adding automation in packaging and exploring new product lines.

The company is also working with customers to meet increasing demand and improve production capacity.

With strong investment in technology and planning, the facility is positioned for long-term growth in the bakery manufacturing sector.
