Frozen Pastry Production

Food Alliance LLC produces frozen bakery products and is located in Natakhatari village, Georgia. Currently the company offers a wide variety frozen pastry goods, which are sold throughout Georgia.

Frozen pastry-bakery products have an enormous market potential as they solve several very important problems for HoReCa and supermarket chains. To offer freshly baked pastries, these retailers have to produce these bakery goods on site. While onsite production has several advantages, it is also very expensive if done from scratch. A Frozen product makes it possible to have a wide variety in the assortment with much longer shelf life.

Food Alliance LLC understood and responded to this demand with the main goal producing and providing high-quality frozen pastry-bakery products for customers, using modern CE certified equipment and technologies in the production processes.
