How we helped a sugar dragée manufacturer solve a cracking issue

We recently worked with a notable Asian company on an issue they had encountered with the finishing of their confectionery products. Offering an extensive range of candy, which includes sugar-coated lentils with a chocolate core, this company’s multi-colored sugar dragées are exported to multiple countries and brought to market via retail stores. Having a shiny and attractive appeal is, of course, paramount, as this is a critical success factor for standing out on the shelf. Consumers expect their chocolate dragées to be colorful and shiny and to offer a mouthful of joy every time.

That pleasure would be spoiled if, instead of being smooth and shiny, the dragées were warped and cracked. For the Asian confectionery manufacturer, this was the unfortunate scenario they faced – and that’s where our CAPOL^® success story began: One of our Application Technologists visited the manufacturer at their site and helped them solve the cracking issues, improving the product’s appeal for optimal market success. While they were at it, our engineers were also able to provide expertise around process improvements and applying the right product solutions for surface finishing. Partnering with the manufacturer, together we made a delicious product become a deliciously perfect product.
