In terms of quality they wanted to do no concessions. They were looking for a western partner in business that oversees the enormous possibilities in the bakery industry in terms of; product, bakery techniques, systems and brands.

Afterwards Integrated Bakery was engaged by Delightful Foods for the establishment of the bakery production facility (newly built facility) that consisted of; bakery product development, plan development, equipment procurement, installation management, commissioning and training of the production staff.
