Celebrating a Milestone: Eastman and Cabrellon Mark Years of Innovation in Chocolate Molds
In a notable celebration of innovation and partnership, Eastman and Cabrellon Srl are commemorating the 60th anniversary of Cabrellon's operations, alongside marking over ten years of successful collaboration utilizing Eastman's Tritan™ copolyester for industrial chocolate molds. This long-standing alliance has proven to be vital in an evolving industry that is increasingly focused on sustainability and consumer safety. This celebration not only underlines the commitment of both companies to innovation but also showcases Cabrellon's expansion of its product range with the introduction of Tritan™ Renew, an environmentally friendly copolyester blended with 25% certified recycled materials.
Cinzia Cabrellon, CEO and General Manager of Cabrellon, expressed her pride in reaching this significant milestone, stating, "This 60-year journey belongs to every customer, employee, and partner who has trusted us along the way." She highlighted the importance of Tritan in this narrative, believing early on in its capabilities to match or even exceed the properties offered by traditional polycarbonate materials used for chocolate molds. This foresight has led Cabrellon to remain at the forefront, adapting to industry shifts, such as the stringent regulations imposed by the European Commission, which limits the use of Bisphenol A (BPA) in materials that come into contact with food.
The BPA regulation, mandated under the European Union Regulation (EU) 2024/3190, has spurred chocolate mold manufacturers to actively seek alternatives that maintain durability and operational efficiency. Tritan and Tritan Renew were specifically designed to meet the performance requirements for challenging applications involving food. They provide crucial benefits such as impact resistance, dimension stability during repeated use, and excellent mold release properties, ensuring that chocolate producers achieve the highest standards in both functionality and creativity. Moreover, Tritan has been recognized as safe for food contact by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), providing reassurance to manufacturers regarding compliance and consistent supply.
Tritan Renew boasts an additional advantage due to Eastman’s molecular recycling technology, offering a product that meets performance and compliance specifications while enabling customers to reduce their carbon footprint without compromising quality or transparency. This innovative approach resonates with many chocolate makers who, like Leone 1857, have recognized the potential of Tritan chocolate molds in their production processes. According to Fabio Allaix, the R&D manager at Leone 1857, their choice in materials reflects the trust their customers place in them. The decision to adopt Tritan was immediate, as they recognized its safety and performance advantages for their chocolate creations.
Integrating Tritan Renew into Cabrellon’s product offerings signifies an ongoing commitment rather than a shift away from Tritan itself. As the industry evolves, so do the demands for environmentally conscious manufacturing processes that do not compromise on quality.
