So two years ago, Allen decided it was time to move. A long and
arduous process followed over the next 18 months, as they planned
and thought outside the box, analyzing what type of equipment they
needed and imagining how the production facility
should be laid out.

easily double our capacity with more equipment in the same space,"
Allen says. "Today, fresh is still 70 percent of our business. We hope in a
couple of years that percentage will be flipped."

Taking a page from the most celebrated bread
bakery in Paris, France, Allen pondered the possibility of creating a work environment similar to
what Poilâne did in 1983 when acclaimed baker
Lionel Poilâne built a "manufactory" for bread
production in the Paris suburb of Bièvres. Poilâne
sought to create an atmosphere that married
modern production with traditional techniques.
Bakers in the manufactory could see out banks of
windows as they worked alone, and in harmony
with other bakers. It made
them happy.
Allen set out to follow similar guidelines in
constructing the new bakehouse with the most
modern equipment, an efficient design flow,
plenty of open space and even windows to the
public. "The new facility will not only be a terrific
place for our staff to work but also one that
provides us the means to truly respect our craft,"
Allen adds. "If we can build a place our companions are proud and excited to come to work at,
imagine how much better our breads and our
company can be? Bread responds to the temperament of the baker - and happy bakers do make
better bread."
Another purpose is to create a space that incorporates a teaching environment. The new baking
school is set to open in late April, and chef Cassy
Vires has been hired to head up the school,
which features a combination of baking and
cooking classes.
The 16-person classroom features a small MIWE
oven and a Globe mixer, work stations and a blackboard. Allen says he is confident people will want
to come here to learn. "And they can leave here
with up to a dozen baguettes per person or during
the holidays they can leave with dozens of cookies.
This will be a real school."
Looking ahead, Companion's owner says they built
the new facility with growth in mind. "We could
