Dawn Food Products Inc. is happy to announce recent capacity, technology and sustainability investments to continue the Dawn tradition of delivering value, quality ingredients and innovation to customers around the world.

“We pride ourselves on being a dedicated partner to our customers – a partner for their whole business, committed to their success,” said Eric Metzendorf, president of Dawn Foods Distribution. “These significant investments in our distribution centers are driven by that partnership and our genuine desire to help our customers grow and succeed.”

New distribution centers in Chicago, New Jersey, Louisville and Toronto incorporate modern warehouse designs, space efficiency techniques, and a combination of innovative technologies to sustain growth in these multi-temp facilities. Each facility also features a new state-of-the-art baking center with high-quality equipment and space to support innovation development and to facilitate ongoing customer interaction and partnership.

The distribution centers were designed with customer and community interests in mind and boast innovations that increase both efficiency and sustainability, including a net increase in storage of more than 6,000,000 cubic feet across ambient, frozen and refrigerated temperature environments. Design features that demonstrate commitment to a sustainable future include:

Motion-sensor LED and T-5 lighting to reduce electricity usage

High-speed roll-up cooler and freezer doors to reduce energy losses

Heat reclamation from refrigeration systems to increase efficiencies in coolers and freezers

“At Dawn, we’re known for our baking heritage and for helping our customers bring their best sweet treats to their customers,” said Metzendorf. “But we also have a team of professionals working behind the scenes to deliver on our partnership promise: creating innovations and reliable distribution solutions to support our customers; enabling them to focus on what they do best.”
