About AWEMA
AWEMA AG develops and manufactures depositing machines and complete chocolate moulding lines for the chocolate and confectionery industry. Founded in 1965 and headquartered in Oberneunforn in the canton of Thurgau, the company is the inventor of computer-controlled One-Shot technology, in which the chocolate shell and the filling are deposited into the mould simultaneously – this enables filled pralines with up to 90 percent filling and bars/tablets with up to 65 percent filling. The portfolio comprises six universal depositing machines (UDM), including the UDM-111 High-Heat for chocolate, jelly, fruit and caramel products, as well as customised Multi Lines with capacities up to 2,000 kg/h and the new Choc-Biscuit Line with over 2,600 kg/h. In addition, AWEMA offers weighing systems, the Tectonia whole-nut add-on system (up to 45 % inclusions) based on pick-and-place technology, the Biscuit Feeder, the ARTIST decorating line and robot-based feeding for hollow-figure lines. More than 1,000 customers worldwide rely on the machines from Switzerland; service and customised adaptations are part of the service offering.
