As a customer-driven company, we at Barens Chocolate want to share our vast knowledge about cocoa and chocolate with our customers.

Our R&D department serves as a platform for scientific research and knowledge exchange. At this facility, dedicated R&D teams work in close cooperation with industrial customers to develop individual solutions or tailor-made innovations.


A World of Knowledge Available to You

Barens has an expert team of individuals on hand to respond to any question you have. Whether you are enquiring about compounds, chocolate or other technical production aspects, we can help.

Our expertise is enhanced as a result of our ability to experiment in the pilot plant where we can safely find solutions to any challenging areas of the production process. All this is part of our research and development activities.

Our specialty lies in creating unique applications and products to meet specific customer needs. In addition we provide support to our customers in many different forms. If for example you have problems with your new equipment, we are available to help so there is little to no production slowdown. If there are issues with recipes along the production process we can provide expert advice to get you through to the end.

Our researchers and technologists work hard to create new products and develop tailor-made recipes and provide solutions to all kinds of issues.


Our Pilot Plant

Barens has a small-scale factory which acts as a pilot plant for simulating the processes that occur on the actual production lines. This facility enables us to test new products and various raw materials in smaller batches. By doing this we can correct any problems before full stage production begins.
