Now occupying more than 33,000-square feet, the expanded headquarters includes:

• The Fleischmann’s Technology Center offering a unique, high-tech experience center comprising a 40-seat theater for training, product demonstrations and live-streamed events;
• An expanded bakingHUB offering customers access to a wide range of expertise and tools to accelerate innovation delivery across the entire bakery product range; and
