More confectionery and snacks plants
Keith Graham, marketing manager at Baker Perkins said: “Baker Perkins has been successful in the Latin American market since the 1950s, particularly in the biscuit industry and more recently an increasing number of confectionery, cereal and snack plants have been installed.”
“The confectionery, cereal, snack and biscuit sectors are all growing, at different rates in different countries, and we see potential in all these sectors and all South American countries,” he continued.
According to Graham, Baker Perkins ServoForm depositing systems for confectionery, SBX twin-screw extruders and Co-Ex Master co-extrusion systems for cereal and snack applications are the company’s best-selling technologies in the South American market.
