Swedish industry leader Pågen is building a new bakery. Pågen is reportedly aiming to build Northern Europe’s largest bakery, with a capacity of 510,000 tons of food per year, in the north of Landskrona, in Skåne county (between Malmö and Helsingborg). The new building, which will employ around 600 people, is expected to be completed in 2028, according to the Swedish newsletter Food Supply.

The new site will have a total gross area of just over 140,000 square meters and will mainly be two stories high, the news outlet cites the bakery.

On June 16, Pågen’s CEO, Anders Carlsson Jerndal, together with Torkild Strandberg, chairman of the municipal council in Landskrona, broke ground for the new facility. In a post on LinkedIn, Anders Carlsson Jerndal writes: “The bakery in Landskrona will make an important contribution to meeting consumer demand for even more fresh bread. With this bakery, we are securing our delivery capacity in the long term and can continue to grow in the European markets. Our investment also reinforces Pågens’ focus and belief in sustainable Swedish agriculture and the close cooperation we maintain with Swedish farmers.|
