Introduction:
Gardenia Philippines started its operations in 1998 with
the state-of-the-art bread factory rated as one of the
most modern large scale bread manufacturing facility in
the country
Gardenia Philippines introductory stage lasted for 3 years
which started from 1998 and ends in 2000.
The total sale in 1998 is P 175 million, which exceeds the
companys initial expectation; the reason behind this high
sale is the introduction of the super Healthy High Fiber
Wheat Bread loaf that was widely accepted by bread
lovers and slowly became popular to all.
In 1999, the company has made further inroads to
Philippines
market
by
increasing
its
sales
to
supermarkets, Petrols stations and mini-marts. This
constitutes to the increase in the total sales, in 1999, by
10%, or by P17, 500,000, from its 1998 total sales of
P175 million.

Growth:
Gardenia Philippines is currently at the stage of growth. It
hasnt reached its peaked yet nor will it anytime soon.
The growth stage of Gardenia Philippines is from 2001
present and might continue to be at this stage until it
builds a factory in Mindanao so that Gardenia bread is
accessible to many people living there. Currently it has its
main factory in Laguna, which is responsible for the
production of breads and delivery of it throughout Luzon,
and another one in Cebu for the Visaya and Northern
Mindanao areas. For your information, Gardenia
Philippines forecast its sales based on population;
meaning, the larger the population, the higher the sales
is. As it is now, Gardenia Philippines breads can only
produce 6000 loaves per hour or 144,000 loaves per day
in its Laguna plant and 2000 loaves per hour or 48,000
loaves per day in its Cebu plant. What does this
suggests? It just tells us that Gardenia sales will continue
to increase as it increases the capacity of its factories or
more factories are established and more distribution
channel opens, and this further proves that Gardenia
sales havent matured yet.
For us to know more of the growth stage of the Gardenia
Bread, let us take a look at its yearly sales and the reason
for its increased sales.
