This larger machine enables the molder to offer its customers even larger chocolate molds. “This means a lot more to us than simply a capacity expansion,” says Markus Gebhart, one of the processor’s managing partners. “It’s also an investment in the future of the company … Our company is experiencing steady growth and the new machine will enable us to open up new application areas.”
Chocolate molds aren’t all that Brunner makes; the firm also processes molds made of plastics, especially polycarbonate and polysulfone, for the medical and laboratory technology markets. —[email protected]
