Silver Lake Cookie Company is recognized throughout the baking industry as the “Quality Leader” since 1965. A family business whose reputation is based on the fundamental concept of delivering the finest quality product possible, and providing the highest level of service to the customer.Silver Lake got its start in Baldwin, Long Island, in a 3,500 square foot building behind a park called Silver Lake Park. As you guessed, that is where the name Silver Lake came from. In the early 70’s more space was needed and the company relocated to larger quarters in North Baldwin. A retail store was established at this location called “Mr. Cookie.” It wasn’t long before continued growth made another move necessary. In 1978 a 35,000 square foot building on Sunrise Highway in Amityville became the next location. Over the next few years another 4,000 square feet were added to the building. For more space two buildings around the corner were rented. But by 1986 the company again outgrew its facilities.

n 2008, Danone recorded an organic growth rate of 8.4% — practical proof that its business growth model truly works. With its operating margin increasing for the 14th year running, the group further strengthened its global standing: world no. 1 in fresh dairy products, world no. 2 in bottled waters, world no. 2 in baby nutrition and European no. 1 in medical nutrition. The group’s performance is the result of a balanced strategy that builds on international expansion, a growing commitment to innovation, and strengthening health-oriented brands. In order to live up to its ambitions, Danone invests heavily in Research & Development — €208 million in 2008. One hundred percent of projects currently in the pipeline focus on health and nutrition. Three centuries after the benefits of Evian mineral water were discovered, over a century after Blédine was first marketed, and nearly a century after the first Danone yoghurt was retailed in a pharmacy, health innovation remains more than ever a driver of the group’s business growth. 2008 confirmed that the previous year’s acquisition of the Dutch group Numico was strategically sound. With this move, Danone incorporated into its strategy two profitable, fast-growing health-oriented business lines: medical nutrition and baby nutrition. They naturally round off the group’s brand portfolio and are perfectly aligned with its mission to bring health through food to as many people as possible. Today Danone is the only food group to focus totally on health.
