Supreme Baker India is located in the same state in the city of Sonipat and produces cookies and breads, a similar product offering to Modern Foods’ portfolio, which also includes cakes, rusks, snacks, Indian breads and pizza bases. Supreme Baker owns brands such as Citi Fresh and Topsim Food manufactured at its two plants in Delhi.
