Turano’s growth<br />
is carbo-loaded<br />
M<br />
aybe the low-carb<br />
diet fad has been<br />
overblown all along. Even<br />
at the height of the antibread<br />
phenomenon in<br />
2003, Campagna-Turano<br />
kept growing, introducing<br />
new products in its artisan<br />
bread collection, including<br />
ethnic specialties such as<br />
focaccia and ciabatta.<br />
When sales of white-flour<br />
baguettes slowed, the<br />
company came back with<br />
raisin-walnut loaves and<br />
rosemary and olive oil<br />
boules. The new breads<br />
are as good for the top line<br />
as for the digestive tract:<br />
An ordinary baguette runs<br />
$2 at retail, while a multigrain<br />
loaf can go for $4<br />
and more. “These artisan<br />
breads are obviously more<br />
costly, but we’re finding<br />
that consumers will pay<br />
for quality,” says Joseph<br />
Turano, operations manager<br />
of the Berwyn plant.<br />

Richco’s China plant serves<br />
customers like Panasonic.<br />
Richco looking<br />
for acquisitions<br />
The weak dollar hasn’t<br />
helped manufacturers<br />
like Richco, which has<br />
plants in <strong>Chicago</strong>, suburban<br />
Harvard, England<br />
and Spain. In January<br />
Richco opened its first<br />
China plant, which spans<br />
40,000 square feet and<br />
employs 40. “We’re servicing<br />
customers like Motorola,<br />
Dell and Panasonic,<br />
which have facilities<br />
nearby for their own<br />
manufacturing and assembly,”<br />
says President<br />
Frederick Streicher, who<br />
runs Richco day-to-day.<br />
(CEO Samantha Richardson<br />
is the widow of<br />
founder Craig Richardson,<br />
who died in October<br />
2002.) Mr. Streicher has<br />
hired engineers and expanded<br />
research and development.<br />
He’s on the<br />
lookout for acquisitions.<br />
“We’re financially strong<br />
and have the resources to<br />
do deals,” he says.<br />
