When you're one of 10,000 customers, you’re just another purchase order.

There’s a problem in the chocolate and bar industry. The traditional machinery suppliers have gotten so large that you can either buy on their terms, or not buy at all. Customizations? Forget about it. Someone who owns your problem? Doesn’t exist. Agility? No way.

Since 1988, we’ve defied this idea. We’ve stayed lean, responsive, and always put our customers first.

We may not be the biggest. But we put our customers first.

We’re not the biggest player or the lowest bidder in the industry. But our ability to truly know and serve each customer is unmatched.

If you want to be anonymous in a sea of accounts, we're not a good fit. If you want partners who know your name, and live to solve your problem, we’d love to talk.

Our promise:
We build with you^™️
