Proton Bakers Zimbabwe has significantly bolstered its production capabilities and expanded its national footprint following the successful refurbishment of its main plant and head office located along Longlands Road in Marondera’s light industrial sites. This strategic expansion is a direct response to the corporate’s substantially increased market share across the country, signifying a new chapter of growth for the long-established bakery.
Proton’s operations have now gone full throttle, enabling the company to supply its range of healthy and tasty confectionery products countrywide. This marks a major departure from its earlier days when the bakery’s supplies were confined primarily to the City of Marondera. To achieve this nationwide reach and move with modern times, Proton Bakers has invested heavily, acquiring modern-day bakery equipment and significantly boosting its fleet of delivery trucks. This enhanced logistics network is crucial, allowing the company to efficiently reach every corner of Zimbabwe and meet surging consumer demand.
The expansion has also created substantial employment opportunities within the City of Marondera. Proton Bakers has increased its staff complement to above one thousand (1,000) employees. This large workforce operates around the clock, working on shifts 24/7/365, ensuring continuous production and supply. Furthermore, demonstrating its commitment to its employees, Proton has also acquired a new fleet of staff buses to facilitate the transportation of its workforce to and from work within the city.
Operating from the beautiful and vibrant City of Marondera since 1961, Proton Bakers stands as one of the city’s most consistent and vital corporates. Through continuously investing in its facilities and expanding its team, the company plays a crucial role in helping to reduce unemployment in Marondera. The refurbishment project not only secures Proton’s position as a leading national bakery but also solidifies its deep-rooted commitment to the City of Excellence, positioning both the company and the city for continued economic vitality and growth in the confectionery sector.
