CRF Funding Keeps Buns and Recovery Rolling

The bakery had outgrown its original, 60,000 square-foot facility years ago, and seriously considered a move to the suburbs. With an acute need to expand production and stay competitive, Baldinger decided to purchase a nine-acre site and build a new factory from the ground up.

CRF USA partnered with the St. Paul Port Authority to provide the business financing needed for the new construction. The project will create over 50,000 hours of construction-related jobs, and the bakery employs over 100 full-time workers. Baldinger Bakery has supplied McDonald’s restaurants for over 50 years.

Now under construction, the new facility includes new equipment and many energy enhancements.

Baldinger Bakery has made buns, bread and other baked goods in St. Paul since 1888, employing thousands of Minnesotans. Today, many second- and even third-generation workers are still baking products for many of the world’s premier food companies.
