Mabini Ave., Tanauan City Batangas In 1950, the couple Aurelio and Celinda Pantoja arrived in their inherited house in Barangay IV, Tanauan City, Batangas and found a worn out brick oven in the backyard. The oven inspired Aurelio to start a bakery business. With only a capital of Php 50, 000, Aurelio rehabilitated the oven and hired few bakers from neighboring towns. During that time, there were no mechanical equipment such as mixers, rounders, dough rollers and slicers. Everything was made and processed by hand. Aurelio performed multiple jobs and functions from being the purchaser, delivery man and production manager while Celinda handled the day-to-day operations of the bakery. There were only two bakeries in Tanauan, Panaderia Pantoja and Almeda Bakery. The couple relied only on “word of mouth” to market their products which at that time were only limited to pandesal, jacobina, paborita, and a few other old time favorites. The couple has six (6) children and their eldest son Arturo had a strong interest in the business. Arturo, after obtaining a degree in Business Administration from the University of the East, took over the business in 1970 and started mechanizing the operations and hired more people. By that time, new bakeries have emerged in town. Panaderia Pantoja was no longer affected since it has already established its name and a loyal customer base. Panaderia Pantoja has become one of the largest bakery chain business in the province of Batangas with franchisees, dealers, and company owned branches in different towns in Batangas, Cavite, Laguna and the Greater Manila Area. Panaderia Pantoja has also entered the international market by exporting some of the products from the Sortidos (biscuits) line through a consolidator. In 2012, Panaderia Pantoja was awarded their first SETUP project in upgrading their production facility. DOST interventions provided to them were the following: acquired equipment to increase production capacity and compliance to GMP and HACCP through SETUP; nutritional and shelf-Life Analysis of jacobina (SETUP) and biscocho product; manpower training on GMP, 5s and HACCP; conduct of Energy Audit; and consultancy (MPEX) and technical advisory services on production process and plant lay-out and facilities. Over-all impact of the project is 33% increase in the production and sales. Seeing other needs for improvements and upgrades due to increasing market demand, Panaderia Pantoja applied again for DOST assistance through TAPI Venture Financing in upgrading their sortidos production line. Through TNA, they identified the need for acquisition of cookie forming machine and senior Page 4 of 54 dough roller. MOA signing of the project was conducted last December 2015 and equipment acquisition will be in the first quarter of 2016. Expected outputs of the project include elimination of backlogging in the rolling process and maximizing the production line, improve in production of sortidos, ensure product quality for fixed roller adjustment for sortidos line, improvement in production time, reduction of remnants of dough using the machine, savings on man-hours, reduction of rejects from deformed cuttings and maximization of mixer capacity.
