Delicate, flaky croissants are gently filled and packed

Italian baked goods manufacturer installs a four-module, robotics-equipped line to inject its croissants with filling and then flow-wrap or carton them for restaurant use.

Based in San Giorgio Dolce Castel near Salerno, Italy, San Giorgio & Salato produces a range of baked goods for the foodservice industry. Begun by Sabato Bruno as a tiny pastry kitchen in the 1980s, the family-owned company now employs 150 people at its state-of-the-art facility.

An innovator in the bakery market, San Giorgio Dolce & Salato was the first to introduce prebaked, filled, and frozen croissants to the restaurant trade. The idea was to combine great taste with the fast pace of modern life. The prebaked dough pieces are handy for baristas, who can quickly bake the frozen croissants and serve them to customers, saving considerable preparation time.
