inkler und Dünnebier Süßwarenmaschinen GmbH (WDS) has a record of more than 100 years in engineering
confectionery machines known for their quality and flexible modular design. Thanks to their Product Innovation Centre based at the WDS headquater in Rengsdorf/Germany WDS is today a solution partner, providing all services to transform a product idea into a successful product launch. Most projects start at the Product Innovation Centre where the WDS team of food scientists tests new product concepts using the WDS lab equipment. This versatility together with a deep knowledge concerning complex molding processes have created a modern generation of molding plants for gums and jellies as well as chocolates which set new standards according to efficiency, hygiene, and product treatment: The demand has changed from large capacity lines for a dedicated product towards flexible lines which entertain multiple different products with a medium to large production capacity. Thanks to the large WDS machining-centre they have full control about the parts and assembly quality, especially when it comes to the heart-piece, the depositor.
