The Secret to Safe, Smooth
Conveying is Volkmann
work ethic and passion to take over the family business, but
they also were quite capable.
" Almost immediately when they started working for the
bakery full time, I could hear it in the way we talked, and
we talk all the time, " he said. " And you could just hear in
those conversations that there was an immediate connection.
They prepared during those years working at the bakery
as teenagers and during college. When it came time for
them to take the baton I was holding out for them, they just
grabbed it. "
" WE WORK REALLY WELL
TOGETHER BECAUSE WE
EACH HAVE OUR OWN NICHE
AND TRUST EACH OTHER. "
Lou Rotella III, Rotella's Italian Bakery
John Rotella said he's pushed his father on incorporating
more automation into the business to reach new levels of efficiency.
In 2012, the company got into the gluten-free side
of baking, a passion project of John's, whose wife has celiac
disease.
" That was a big leap of faith from my father, letting us do
that, " John said. " We're still operating that today. "
He's installed new high-speed lines, built a new bakery
and now a new cold storage facility that came online this
year. In an attempt to find new ways to reduce the bakery's
waste streams, John Rotella started a new business, Ag
Alchemy Animal Nutrition, which uses 10% to 15% of the
company's bakery by-products to create dog treats for their
own brand as well as private label and co-packing.
With the cold storage facility and new bakery coming
online in the next 16 to 18 months, John Rotella recognized
the hard work his brother Lou Rotella III has put in
to ensure those operations will be staffed well. Not only did
Lou Rotella III formalize HR policies and procedures, but
he also ensured that employees were equipped with robust
training that aligns with the company's core values.
" He's done a fantastic job of developing our culture, how
we do things so that when we bring in these new employees,
they acclimate very quickly to who we are and what we're
about, " John Rotella said.
Today the company has a training center at the main
campus, a dedicated space to educating employees on proper
policies and procedures around Good Manufacturing
Practices, food safety and quality. Lou Rotella III has been
tasked with succession planning and strategic planning for
the next 10 years of growth, which involves setting up new
leadership in the company who can take over when the current
leaders retire. With a staff that has tenure - 40-year
A lot of our customers can't talk about their secret to safe,
