This facility will product a large number of the company's pastries, [bites, and bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bobos-peach-pie-stuffd-oat-bites), effectively multiplying the company's annual output by a factor of three. On top of the massively-increased output, Bobo's stated that this facility should reduce its emissions output enough to achieve carbon neutrality. According to Bobo's, the new production facility will use upgraded, state-of-the-art manufacturing equipment and machines. However, despite this new level of precision automation, the emissions will still be decreased across the board, and the products will retain their same level of handmade, authentic quality and taste. TJ McIntyre, the CEO of Bobo's, stated: “We’re thrilled to officially open our incredible new ‘super bakery’ today and to continue to support the growing, nationwide consumer demand for Bobo’s products."
