The Village Bakery, Wrexham

BACKGROUND

Village Bakery, a family-owned and operated craft bakery located in
Wrexham, is renowned for its exceptional range of fresh bread and rolls, pies, and morning goods, garnering multiple awards. In response to increased demand, Village Bakery sought to expand its production capacity. Consequently, an extension project was initiated to accommodate the increased volume production needs

THE CHALLENGE

The expansion of the production facility was designed as a fast-track
initiative. It aimed to address the increasing demands placed on the
bakery, particularly in supplying a diverse range of products such as
crumpets and pancakes to major retail clients. The project necessitated a premium floor finish with exceptional hygiene standards, ease of cleaning, and superior slip resistance, especially in areas prone to bakery-specific challenges.

OUR SOLUTION

Following on from previous successful applications undertaken across three established Village Bakery locations in Wrexham, a seamless application of over 2,000m2 of Sika® Ucrete® UD 200 was applied in the new extension. This system emerged as the ideal solution, fulfilling the need for a slip-resistant coating that mirrors the cleanliness of stainless steel, while holding HACCP certification for suitability in food production settings.
