Toblerone is a popular Swiss chocolate brand known for its distinctive triangular shape and unique flavor. It was first created in 1908 by Theodor Tobler and Emil Baumann in Bern, Switzerland.
The name “Toblerone” is a combination of the founder’s last name, Tobler, and the Italian word “torrent,” which means nougat. The chocolate bar consists of milk chocolate with honey and almond nougat, providing a rich and indulgent taste.
The iconic triangular shape represents the Matterhorn mountain in the Swiss Alps, paying homage to its Swiss heritage. Toblerone has become a beloved treat worldwide, offering a delightful combination of smooth chocolate and crunchy nougat.
In the injection moulding process TPE pellets are fed into the machine through a hopper and then into a heated barrel. The heat from the barrel turns the material into a liquid resin which is then injected into a closed mould under high pressure. After allowing the molten polymer to cool, the finished part can be removed from the mould.
Injection moulding is a high-volume, high tooling cost process, the advanced properties of our TPE compounds deliver short cycle times allowing parts to be produced at a rapid rate.
