Baking company Honey Bun says its billion-dollar investment in a new production facility in Angels, St Catherine is set to more than double its manufacturing capacity.
Honey Bun in a release to the media on Tuesday noted that it signed a long-term lease agreement for the 160,000 square feet mega-facility on Wednesday March 27, 2024.
Honey Bun’s CEO Michelle Chong says the signing of the lease signifies that the future of the company is bright. She says their products are in high demand, and they have outgrown Honey Bun’s current facility.
Deputy CEO Daniel Chong says the long-term-lease of the new four-and-a-half-acre property will initially see Honey Bun moving half of its operation from its current Retirement Crescent property in Kingston.
The facility will be operational in the next 7-10 months.
Honey Bun’s Executive Chairman Herbert Chong says while the Retirement Crescent facility will continue to supply Kingston and St Andrew, St Thomas, Portland and St Mary; the new Angels facility will service the rest of the island.
