**Company Offering**

Our ambition is to become the world leading partner for dough solutions, empowering consumers to create happy home baking moments.

Cérélia offers a wide range of baked cookies, cookie dough, pizza dough, pie crust, puff pastry, pancakes, frozen waffles and breakfast sandwiches; commercialized under our clients’ brands, both retailers, food services and industrial companies, as well as under its own brands: English Bay Bakery, JusRol, and Pop Bakery.

**Company Strategy**

Cérélia North America’s strategy is articulated around 4 axes, aiming to improving its performance and seizing future growth opportunities, while embracing the company’s heritage and distinctive strengths:

- Create a solid base: doing well what we do today, increase customer satisfaction and profitability
- Drive innovation around our 3 product platforms: cookies, rolled dough and pancakes / waffles
- Enhance our capabilities & talent: implementing new systems, developing a broader industrial footprint, and investing in our talent
- Accelerate growth, through organic growth, strategic partnerships, and acquisitions

In 2020, we reset and refocused the business around the Toronto facilities for cookies, while adding rolled dough products with an excellent reputation and distribution across the US retailers, to our portfolio.

In March 2021, US Waffle, leader in pancakes & waffles joined the Cerelia family; in June 2021, we opened a new, state-of-the art, 150,000 sqft factory in Columbus, Ohio.

Cérélia continues to strengthen the relationship with its strategic customers across multiple distribution channels: food service, in store bakeries, retailers, clubs, convenience stores, and industrial partners.
