Making a smooth move


Winners of The Vendies 2021 Machine Innovation Award, Belgium-based Alberts, missed out on The Vendies showcase in the June issue of VI, but this image show just how delighted the team was with the win for its Smoothie & Soup Stations. Claudia Parms for Alberts said: “We are


honoured to have been awarded the title of Best Machine Innovation by The Vendies, a highly regarded competition specifically about vending. “The recognition of our fully automated vending


machines for personalised smoothies and soups reinforces that introducing our devices for the first time in the UK market this summer is the right next step for Alberts. We are more than grateful to The Vendies for selecting us and look forward to the future.”

Barry Callebaut opens factory in Russia


The Barry Callebaut Group, the manufacturer of high- quality chocolate and cocoa products, has opened its third factory in Russia, in the special economic zone of Kaliningrad region, at the Baltic Sea. The factory was acquired in September 2020 and


will be operational in this month. The current setup of the factory will allow Barry


Callebaut to produce liquid and solid compound and fillings. Initially the factory will employ about 40 people, thus creating new skilled jobs, mainly in production, engineering and warehousing. Rogier van Sligter, co-president EMEA, said: “The opening of our third factory further strengthens our


presence in Russia and underlines our commitment to the world's third-largest chocolate confectionery market.” Apart from the factory in Kaliningrad, Barry


Callebaut’s footprint in Russia includes two factories, one in Chekhov, Moscow region, and another in Kasimov, Ryazan region. Bart De Geyndt, general director Barry


Callebaut Russia & CIS said: “The three factories, together with the Chocolate Academy Center located in Moscow, enable us to serve our customers better, offer a full product portfolio and satisfy the growing demand in Russia and CIS countries for chocolate innovations
