The company has installed an additional kneading, extruding, rolling, and scoring machine in its Offstein, Germany laboratory to test new gum concepts-and to help brands innovate. “Some small and medium-sized manufacturers may not have the equipment, expertise, or facilities to try out different product avenues, which can restrict growth into new areas,” said Ingrid Willibald-Ettle, head of the supplier’s customer technical services.
According to the company, the sugar-free chewing gum market has seen steady growth and is expected to continue growing at 7.2% over the next two years.
