A Canadian Factory’s Procurement Journey
The Canadian client, a mid-sized candy manufacturer focused on marshmallow-based products, sought to scale operations amid rising domestic demand. After evaluating multiple suppliers, they selected YTmarshmallow for its state-of-the-art equipment designed for high-volume marshmallow extrusion, aeration, and packaging. The procurement began with a virtual consultation where our team assessed their facility layout and production targets, ensuring a seamless fit.
