DEDICATION TO EVERY DETAIL ENSURES SUCCESS FOR CONFECTIONARY PROJECTS

EXACT MEASURES OF EXPERIENCE AND EXPERTISE

It’s the consistency of following a unique recipe that sets your product apart. Every ingredient is measured precisely; each step in the process is exact. Dedication to every detail ensures success, batch after batch, line after line.

We know confectionary equipment and the processes: from starch moguls and the circulation of liquid chocolate, to cooling tunnels and high-speed custom packaging machines.

We know the industry trends: the need for increased automation and for more attractive, brighter work areas that help recruit and retain employees.

We know the challenges you face: new products and the rush to market; plant expansions that must not interrupt current production; and always, adherence to food safety.

Austin’s fully integrated team uses a stepped approach known as The Austin Method® which begins with preliminary design, followed by preliminary engineering, then detailed engineering and construction. This stepped approach ensures we do it right the first time and could shave months off the schedule for a large manufacturing plant.
