CASE STUDIES

Pretzilla, a specialized pretzel buns and bites baking company, aimed to consolidate their operations into a single facility to streamline their production process.

• Headquartered in Milwaukee since their origin, Pretzilla desired to stay in the region to maintain their local presence and workforce.
• The new facility needed specialized areas for different stages of production, including dough processing, baking, cooking, packaging, and freezing.
• Pretzilla required the facility to be operational quickly, with at least temporary occupancy within a few months.

Zilber Property Group (ZPG) identified one of their industrial buildings within Franklin Business Park as a suitable space for Pretzilla's needs.

• The existing 162,473 square foot facility was expanded to include a 28,000 square foot, two-story office space.
• ZPG reconfigured the building's mechanical, plumbing, and electrical systems to accommodate Pretzilla's complex baking processes.
• Specialized storage rooms and food-grade finishes were designed to ensure compliance with safety and quality standards.
• The team addressed unique challenges, such as implementing safety requirements for flour and oil storage.

Pretzilla successfully consolidated their operations into a single, highly efficient bakery that met their production and food safety requirements.

• The new facility was designed to optimize production processes across all stages of baking and packaging.
• ZPG managed design changes, construction challenges, and cost escalations while maintaining the project's schedule and budget.
• Pretzilla's transition to the new facility was seamless, allowing them to continue delivering their high-quality pretzel products without disruption.
