GeconaTEC has been attested as a company that is prudently managed, doesn’t overstretch itself, and discharges its obligations punctually and conscientiously. In connection with large-scale projects such as the acquisition of entire plants and production lines to expand or update manufacturing, loans are frequently indispensable. GeconaTEC therefore works closely together with two major German banks. Consequently, GeconaTEC can also offer Hermes credit fi nancing, allowing both inter-bank loans and under certain circumstances direct loans to the client. GeconaTEC can take charge of the application, draw up the documents required, and actively support planned fi nancing projects. Guarantees (including payment guarantees, advance payment guarantees and performance bonds) can be provided in line with the client’s requirements. GeconaTEC also has experience in handling credits in export transactions. It promptly draws up, coordinates and obtains the necessary documents depending on the conditions governing the letter of credit. When building complete plants, GeconaTEC collaborates with proven suppliers manufacturing state-of-the-art equipment to a high level of quality. Working on the basis of the delivery spe- cifi cations, technologies and delivery deadlines contractually agreed with its foreign partners, GeconaTEC concludes suitable delivery contracts with its suppliers with a view to integration within the overall project. 3 SERVICES GeconaTEC constantly monitors compliance with contractual conditions. It works closely with its partners in the production phase, maintains personal contact, discusses solutions, keeps track of production progress, and conducts joint tests on key machinery. The presence of GeconaTEC’s clients is especially welcome during test runs. Before informing the client that an order is ready for dispatch, GeconaTEC has the equipment examined on the supplier’s premises and certifi ed for compliance with the contract specifi cation as well as in terms of quality and quantity by an international inspectorate. It then has the equipment transported by a logistics contractor with many years’ experience of deliveries to the CIS (especially Russia) which maintains an offi ce in Moscow, and which remains constantly in touch with the freight forwarders on the ground. GeconaTEC also works together with the transport company to optimize transport operations by maximizing the use of available lorry capacity. It has the equipment collected from the suppliers, collates partial deliveries, and helps its suppliers draw up the necessary transport documents. Depending on the size of the goods to be transported, GeconaTEC orders special lorries which arrive punctually along with any offi cial permission required for the planned route. In addition, GeconaTEC keeps tabs on deliveries until they reach the ultimate buyer. But don’t take out word for it – fi nd out for yourself just how effi cient GeconaTEC is! 4 New trends on the confectionery market NEWS Development of confectionery groups Sugar candy Internationally speaking, the confectionery market Hard caramel can be broken down into: Zefi r (Russian marshmallow), fruit jellies, pastilles, orien- • Chocolate and chocolate-containing confectionery tal sweets, Sugar-coated sweets, Toffee • Sugar candy Potential growth is harboured by: • Cakes and pastries • Moulded caramel with health-promoting properties The chocolate segment is the most profi table one and still • sugar-free products has some absolute growth potential. • jelly-products The sugar candy segment is declining internationally and • Toffee can only be stimulated by new, trendy products.

Such products are distinguished by a mixture of high-quality components, calling for sophisticated manufacturing equipment and technology. GeconaTEC has designed production lines for the following product ideas: Chocolate-wafer-sweets The combination of a wide range of wafer shapes with a cream, praline or marshmallow fi lling and the addition of whole or crushed nuts, almonds or candied peel and coated or dipped once or twice in chocolate results in a fi rst-class fl avour experience. Despite the extensive range of products on the market, there is still plenty of scope for new types and combinations. However, it is important to have equipment with high productivity to ensure that these complicated products can be manufactured effectively. Chocolate, caramel/toffee, soft brittle Apart from traditional hard brittle, combinations of chocolate, caramel/toffee with cream as well as solid ingredients have proved exclu- sive. Such confectionery is particularly interesting when the cream fi lling is enclosed by the caramel/toffee and chocolate layers. As in a wafer, the different textures of the components make for a particularly exquisite fl avour. The development of manufacturing technolo- gies is opening up new possible combinations that can be produced effi ciently. Chocolate, marzipan and nougat So far almost solely available through imports, marzipan and nougat have acquired a reputation as very high-quality confectionery components. These products should in particular always be included in ranges of chocolates. 6 New products Jelly and marshmallow products With the exception of traditional jelly and zefi r products, entire market segments of marshmallow and shaped ‘gummi’ (rubbery-textured jelly) products are currently covered solely by imports. Figures like gummi bears, jelly babies and the like can be made out of transparent or opaque mass in almost every colour imaginable. The exact shapes produced can be geared to children’s preferences. Their texture can be adapted to range from simple jellies to something akin to chews. They can also be combined with traditional zefi r and jelly centres. The current trends are to replace gelatin with vegetable gelling agent and if possible to use natural colouring. Cakes and pastries – pastry slices Long pastries containing a fruit fi lling are moulded, baked and cut into bar-shaped slices. Health-promoting products Functional products These products are enhanced with healthy ingredients such These performance-enhancing products are especially rich in as minerals, vitamins and health-promoting substances. Mo- energy (glucose) or contain stimulants like caffeine. reover, they can be produced in low-calorie and/or low-sugar versions. Examples include: • Energy chocolate The main types are: • Chocolates with added coffee or cola • Hard caramel (with health-promoting additives, sugar-free, with vitamins and minerals) • Muesli bars 7 Technologies for new products Chocolate moulding technology In recent years, moulding technology has made enormous strides. Technologies such as one-shot and frozen cone combined with the use of modules in moulding systems along with robot technology enable combined chocolate products and even assortments of chocolates to be made online. Accordingly, the various benefi ts of the systems designed by GeconaTEC for mainly new products can be exploited jointly.
