Oct 12, 2016
ARNAUD SOUBEYRAN,the origins of which date back to 1837 with the marriage between talented confectioner, Mr. Arnaud, and Miss Soubeyran, is the oldest producer of traditional nougats in Montélimar, France. The firm, now run by the family’s third generation, has today broadened its range of confectionery and shares its expertise in the charming atmosphere of a museum entirely dedicated to nougat.
For 15 years, ARNAUD SOUBEYRAN has packaged its Nougats, Calissons, Marshmallow and Pralines with three Schib flow wrappers (a brand of BW Flexible Systems) and it has just recently purchased its fourth Schib, a new CO 50 that will soon be installed. Didier Honnore, Director of ARNAUD SOUBEYRAN, declares “Schib machines have always supported us efficiently, fully meeting our need to pack a wide range of sweets, biscuits, marshmallows and pastries. We are really satisfied; the machines are very flexible, reliable and easy to clean. Furthermore, they are backed up by a flawless after-sales service. Undoubtedly all of these pluses led us to choose Schib once again when we had to purchase our fourth packaging machine. Actually this one will be an advanced, new generation CO50, featuring an appealing design coupled with even higher performances.”
The CO50’s rotary motion twin jaws, operated by 3-axis drive technology, will allow speeds of up to 200 ppm. The machine is equipped with motorised film pre-feed, reel run-out sensor, pre-printed film registration, and many other options.
‘Nux Gatum’, originally brown in colour, made of honey, spices and walnuts, has spanned the centuries from ancient times to the present day. Its journey from the East to Greece then led it to Marseille where it was established under the name of ‘Nougat’ in the XVIIth Century. It became on of the 13 most typical Provencal desserts. Then going up the River Rhône, a determinant stop in Montélimar changed the brown colour of this home-made confectionery into white and the walnuts became almonds. This popular, tasty delicacy is widely exported and appreciated around the world. It invokes memories of festivals and holidays and still remains a Provencal sweet that once tasted is never forgotten.
