it' s official: amoroso' s baking co. will close its longtime southwest philadelphia bakery this fall and make bread and rolls at a new plant in bellmawr, the company told employees starting with the production shift wednesday night .
151 foods is a baking company created to serve the requirements of the amoroso and mulloy families. each family closed an existing bakery – amoroso’s in philadelphia and ginsberg’s in atlantic city. both of these bakeries were aged and had the inherent inefficiencies in process flows and sanitation issues of older plants .
leonard amoroso jr. , president and co - owner of amoroso' s, which was founded in 1904 in camden, was not available for comment, a spokeswoman said thursday .
the report said the company has started notifying employees that they will be laid off prior to the move. about 200 employees will have to reapply for their jobs if they wish to stay with amoroso' s when they go across the river .
the company was started in camden in 1904 but moved to philadelphia when they needed a larger facility, according to the report .
151 foods selected a 385, 000 sf warehouse - type facility in new jersey for their new baking production facility and chose the austin company’s bakery design and construction team to plan, engineer, and implement the conversion of this facility into their state - of - the - art bakery. austin developed 285, 000 sf of the building, which, prior to this project, was used as a book distribution center .

the creation of a new legal entity triggered the layoff notices by ginsburg and amoroso' s under the federal worker adjustment and retraining notification act, requiring a 60 - day notice in the case of plant closings and certain other layoffs .
151 foods selected the austin company’s bakery design and construction team to plan, engineer, and implement the conversion of this facility into their state - of - the - art bakery. austin provided complete design - build services, utilizing our bakery facility best practices planning model in the new facility layout .

the new bakery, in an industrial park near where interstate 295 intersects with route 42, is a joint venture with the owners of ginsburg bakery inc. , which announced in april that it was closing its atlantic city operation and laying off 159 workers .
the new venture, 151 foods l. l. c. , received a $ 20. 7 million tax credit, spread over 10 years, to help pay for the new jersey bakery, which involves total capital investment of $ 33. 1 million, according to the new jersey economic development authority .
the 2012 application for those tax credits under the grow new jersey assistance program said the new bakery would help retain 205 jobs in new jersey and add 140 .
151 foods, which bought its building for $ 4. 94 million from houghton mifflin harcourt publishing co. in 2013, also considered a site in morrisville .
austin provided complete design - build services, utilizing our bakery facility best practices planning model in the new facility layout to separate production and support spaces with efficient access .
the straight line layout approach at the new bakery significantly improves production efficiency. some equipment was relocated from each of the closed bakeries and new equipment was purchased and installed to supplement the relocated equipment .
the project involved installation of extensive new underfloor plumbing and above - ground electrical systems. air handling units for the bakery that would normally be mounted on the roof were mounted on the floor inside the bakery, because the roof had no capacity to support large air handling equipment .
facility design and installation included a new electric supply room with transformers, switchgear and distribution of electric power to equipment distribution panels; mechanical support systems, including chilled ingredient water and glycol / water for mixer jackets; hot water systems; air compressors; and distribution piping to use points. a class ii division ii flour blower and sifter room was provided, along with an ingredients receiving and storage room.
