Plant Tour

Today, I got to take a tour of the Marinela/Bimbo factory in Azcalpotzalco.  It was a nice little change of pace from the route rides of the last week.  No matter how many times I have toured a plant, they always amaze me.  Being able to see the product go from ingredience to package is cool because I usually only see the final product. 

This factory has 13 lines and makes over 20 products, both cake and bread.  It produces 9,000 loafs of bread an hour, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 52 weeks a year.  That's a lot of damn bread (78,840,000 to be exact.  79,056,000 on a leap year like this one)!!!
