This new guarantee proves how confident we are about the success and effectiveness of our training methods.

- Capital Expenditure Evaluator : a new functionality has been added this month to our website. You are asked to answer only 3 simple questions about the daily volume you want to produce, the kind of products you are interested in and the type of equipments you plan to purchase (brand-new or used).

• a new French bakery set up by LS this month

Volgograd, Russian Federation.

- Bakery capacity: 10,000 units per day

- Equipment: used.

- Manufacturer: various from France.

- Description: in spite of its size and strong economic development, Volgograd didn’t have any French bakery yet. Now it does. A few months ago, the French bakery’s owner in Volgograd visited one of the bakeries set up by LS in Central Asia and could realize that all French recipes were definitely made with local raw materials and by local employees.

A cost assessment made in Volgograd by this investor showed the very high profits such a bakery business could generate. In addition to that, thanks to a population of more than 2 millions, Volgograd offers today a huge expansion potential for this French bakery that judiciously found a niche far from the competition.
