The bread that costs 1.5 lei will reappear on sale at the end of April. This type of bread disappeared from shelves in stores at the end of last year because the old equipment malfunctioned. The new investments made will not lead to a rise in the price of this bread. The issue was discussed during Prime Minister Chiril Gaburici’s visit to the bakery complex “Franzeluta”, IPN reports, quoting a communique of the Government.
The Premier visited the production halls. Two of these were outfitted with modern equipment last year. A new line will be soon launched to produce the social brad “Chisinau”. “We discussed the price formation method and will see how the Government can support the factory as it sustains losses when it makes social bread. There are eight types of social bread. We agreed that the company’s director in the near future will submit proposals so that we could clarify this matter,” stated Chiril Gaburici.
“Franzeluta” director Victor Cojocaru voiced hope that the modernization of the company, namely the launch of a number of modern bread-making lines, will lead to lower costs. “The new technology allows us to increase the volume of bread 1.5 times without using ameliorators. The bread will remain fresh for a longer period, during up to 72 hours. The recipes are new. These lines enable us to use flour of different qualities and sorts. This wasn’t possible with the old mechanized lines,” he stated.
A sum of €7 million will be spent to implement the company’s modernization plan. Some €5 million has been invested so far. The equipment was brought from Italy, Germany, Slovenia, and Slovakia.
The bakery complex “Franzeluta” produces daily over 30 types of bread, by 150-160 tonnes of bakery products.
