PRONATEC AG commissions cocoa processing plant with Bühler equipment
Swiss plant uses Bühler as equipment system supplier.
PRONATEC AG, a Swiss supplier of organic food raw materials and of sustainable, 100% organic chocolate, has commissioned one of Europe’s most advanced cocoa processing plants in Beringen in the canton of Schaffhausen in spring 2022. Last Friday, September 16, the plant was officially opened. The fundamental decision to transfer the processing of its organic cocoa beans from external contract processors abroad to Switzerland paved the way for the project, which was implemented with equipment from the Bühler Group as a system supplier.
The Bühler cocoa processing plant, which was designed in close collaboration and coordination with the PRONATEC team, is one of the most advanced systems installed worldwide. Its advantages clearly lie in the consistently high quality of the roasting and grinding of the cocoa beans into cocoa mass and the further processing into cocoa powder and butter.
