About CFM
Most makers face two bad options. We built the third.
Most US chocolate and protein-bar makers get stuck choosing between staying manual and capping their growth, or paying European prices for automation that takes years to pay back. CFM is the third option — complete, custom-engineered production lines, not single machines, at a fraction of European prices.
Stay manual
Cap your output, fight to hire and keep operators, and watch labor cost climb every year.
Pay European prices
Get the automation — but on a payback period that can stretch past the life of the plan.
A full line you can model first
Custom-engineered, more capacity, less labor, and an ROI you can model before you spend a dollar.
What we do
Full production lines, not single machines.
We design and build complete lines for US confectionery makers — chocolate bars, protein bars, energy bars — from forming or depositing all the way through wrapping, cartoning, and case packing. The promise is simple: more capacity, less labor, and an ROI you can model before you commit.
Engineered to your product
Every line is laid out around your product, your capacity, and your floor space — not pulled off a catalog page.
Proven before it ships
We build the line, run your real product on it, and review the recorded FAT with you before anything leaves the factory.
Set up and backed in the US
We commission the line on your floor, train your operators, and stay reachable when something needs fixing.
From kitchen counter to factory floor
We've helped makers go from a kitchen counter to a modern automated factory — with the installed lines and named clients to show for it.
CFM lines run every day at TCHO Chocolate · CocoaPack · Kize Bar · Coracao Confections · Mascot Pecans · Eclaire Health — from craft chocolate makers to bar co-manufacturers across the US.

How we build
A solution integrator, not a catalog vendor.
We don't run one factory and sell you whatever it happens to make. CFM integrates a complete line for each maker — choosing the best-fit equipment for your product, your capacity, and your floor. Core components come from global leaders — Siemens, Schneider, Mitsubishi, Panasonic, Omron, Yaskawa — so spare parts are easy to source and your team works with names it already knows. Every machine is tested with your product on a recorded FAT, and built to CE and the quality standards your buyers expect, before it ships.
Who you'll work with
I'm Hans. I'll review your line myself.
I'm the technical sales manager at CFM. I've spent years inside US chocolate and bar plants — designing lines, installing machines on-site, and answering the support line when something needs fixing.
We do one thing: production and packaging automation for chocolate and bar products. From the first consultation to the recorded FAT to the install on your floor, you work with the same person — not handed off down a sales funnel.
That focus is the point. Trust in a real, reachable person — with installed lines and named clients you can verify — is the one thing automation can't fake.
