Innovation starts in our Technology Center

Successful snack production begins long before installation. At our Technology Center in Lelystad, customers work together with our food technologists and process engineers to develop, validate and optimize new snack products.

Our facilities allow manufacturers to test recipes, develop new fillings and validate depositing processes. They can optimize cooling, evaluate textures, and scale production from pilot to industrial capacity, all in one place.

This reduces investment risks while significantly accelerating product development and commercialization.

Why snack manufacturers
choose Orangeworks Group

Orangeworks Group acts as one engineering partner from concept development all the way through to commissioning, offering complete turnkey solutions rather than piecing together separate suppliers. That partnership draws on combined process expertise, bringing processing, fillings, moulding, depositing and finishing together under one group.

Production lines are designed to be flexible, built for today’s products as well as tomorrow’s innovations, and backed by global references from leading confectionery manufacturers around the world. New snack concepts can be developed and validated in our technology centers before full-scale production begins, and every line is the result of engineering excellence that combines process knowledge, automation and manufacturing into one integrated solution.
