Long Time Confectionery Leader Launched Fresh Chocolate Concept

Tomric Systems, Inc., a provider of plastic molds, packaging, smallwares and chocolate handling equipment to the confectionery industry for nearly 50 years has introduced a new food concept enabling food service, hospitality, in-store bakery locations and other retailers to quickly and easily create fresh chocolates on premise.



's8220;ChocoFresh enables retailers of all kinds to add fresh chocolate to their product mix, and high quality, fresh chocolate is a hot, hot food category. In New York, Chicago, San Francisco and other US cities consumers are paying $20-$40 -- and in some cases $80 dollars -- per pound for high quality, European-style chocolates,'s8221; says Tim Thill, president of both companies. 's8220;We feel we have created a program to help retailers develop their own 's8216;fresh chocolate shop's8217; within their current stores, thereby enabling them to offer another exciting and profitable product to their customers.'s8221;



ChocoFresh is a comprehensive program, featuring easy-to-use automatic tempering equipment, customized worktables, humidity-controlled display cases, smallwares, chocolate, ingredients (including flavored ganache fillings) and packaging for a total program aimed a getting retailers and operators into the business of fresh chocolate making. 's8220;Hundreds of pounds of product can be produced daily with the program, at target gross profit margins which are very attractive,'s8221; adds Tom Elsinghorst, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for the new firm.



's8220;The beauty of this program is that it is totally modular and almost anyone can be taught to make high quality chocolate in a matter of hours in an area of 150 square feet or less,'s8221; continued Elsinghorst. ChocoFresh will fit into an existing supermarket or retail bakery, gelato shop, specialty-coffee retail location or can allow companies to create a freestanding, branded chocolate store. It also works well for hotels, casinos and high volume food commissaries looking to add a high-quality confections to their dessert or sweets offerings.



The company launched the concept at the International Dairy, Deli and Bakery Show in Orlando, FL, which was held June 11-13, 2006. The IDDBA focuses on the deli and bakery portions of the supermarket and bakery operators are always looking for novel, profitable ways to grow their business.
