Brunberg: Finland's Oldest Confectionery Factory Since 1871
Brunberg is a Finnish confectionery manufacturer based in Porvoo, producing chocolates, toffees, liquorice, and kisses for the Finnish market. Founded in 1871, the company is considered Finland's oldest confectionery factory and one of the country's most respected sweets manufacturers, with over 150 years of continuous production history. Today Brunberg operates a factory, factory shop, and an old town shop in Porvoo, alongside a webshop serving customers across Finland.
The Challenge of Maintaining Quality Across a Century-Old Product Range
As a long-established confectionery manufacturer, Brunberg produces a wide range of products including chocolates, toffees, liquorice, fudge, and kisses at its Porvoo factory. Producing sweets at scale — from chocolate pralines and truffles to rice chocolate and coated fudge — requires consistent quality control across many different recipes, textures, and packaging formats.
Brunberg also manufactures products for consumers with specific dietary needs, such as sugar-free and lactose-free chocolate, which places additional emphasis on ingredient integrity and product consistency throughout production.
Partnering with Mekitec for Reliable Quality Assurance
As Brunberg has grown its production over more than 150 years, maintaining consistent product quality across its range of chocolates, toffees, and liquorice has remained a core priority. To support this, Brunberg has worked with Mekitec's x-ray inspection technology as part of its quality control processes at the Porvoo factory.
Implementation of X-ray Inspection at the Porvoo Factory
Brunberg integrated a Mekitec X-ray inspection system into its production line at the Porvoo factory to support quality control across its confectionery range.
The system operates alongside Brunberg's packaging lines, screening finished products such as chocolate pralines, truffles, and other confections before they reach the factory shop, the old town shop, and the company's webshop.
Supporting Consistent Quality for Finland's Oldest Confectionery Maker
By incorporating x-ray inspection into its production process, Brunberg reinforces the same commitment to craftsmanship and quality that has defined the company since 1871. Screening products such as chocolates, truffles, and toffees before they reach the factory shop, the old town shop, and the webshop helps ensure that every item leaving the Porvoo factory meets the standards Brunberg's customers have come to expect over more than 150 years.
As Brunberg continues to serve sweet-lovers across Finland with its range of chocolates, liquorice, and fudge, the addition of x-ray inspection supports the company's broader responsibility efforts and its long-standing reputation as one of Finland's most respected sweets manufacturers.
