Hans Brunner: portable 3D product development

According to the company, Hans Brunner GmbH is the world‘s leader in chocolate moulds, creating a variety of new ­figures every year, ranging from Santas and Easter Bunnies to whatever the customers located around the world desire. The amount of time involved in an advisory consultation with a customer has become an important factor for success. With this in mind, at trade fair ProSweets Cologne the company presented its portable 3D product development. Equipped with a laptop and a laser pen, the technicians from Hans Brunner can ­execute changes and modifications to the moulds and the figures at the customers’ own business premises.
Markus Gebhart, Managing Director at Hans Brunner, presented this ­innovation to the trade fair attendees in Cologne with a football player that was transformed on-site from a chunky, overweight ”loser” into a true champion with the appropriate football club jersey. Normal chocolate tablet moulds can be varied in size, weight, relief depth or number of pieces in virtually no time, making it possible to reach a final decision on-site together with the customer. •
