Candy Cane Machine

Candy canes are a traditional Christmas charm. During the holidays, their red and white stripes adorn trees and homes, while their minty flavor delights the taste buds of people across the age groups. Candy canes are the No. 1 non-chocolate candy throughout the month of December, according to the National Confectioners Association, alwaysatreat.com, with 90 percent of the red and white striped candies sold between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Is there a record for the most candy canes sold in a single week? The second week of December is nearing.

Even the flavor of candy canes is shrouded in secrecy, as no one knows who developed peppermint candies first. Peppermint is an aromatic hybrid plant that is a cross between spearmint and watermint. Peppermint is one of the world's oldest therapeutic herbs, used in both eastern and western medicine to treat stomach-related disorders like indigestion and nausea.

With advances in the world, Latini has always been at the forefront of introducing adaptable solutions that are uncomplicated and yet efficient. Our offerings in the novelty confections such as candy canes are similar to this approach. We understand that the need for automated instruments is incomparable, and hence we embarked on the journey of developing the most efficient, and innovative Candy Cane Machine. Innovating and developing a process that has been traditionally produced manually.
