Case Study: Taffy Town scales candy production and improves safety with Formic Technologies

Taffy Town automates 5.5 million pounds of taffy with Formic

Taffy Town, a Utah-based candy maker, faced the challenge of scaling its production to meet growing demand from national retailers without placing additional physical strain on its employees. The company sought to move away from manual hand-stacking but was concerned about the capital cost and learning curve associated with traditional automation. They partnered with Formic to deploy its Full Service Automation for end-of-line palletizing.

Formic implemented a no-CapEx, fully supported robotic palletizing solution that was deployed quickly. The results were significant: the system has handled 5.5 million pounds of taffy, stacked over 279,000 cases, and built nearly 4,300 pallets. This automation allowed Taffy Town to reallocate a full-time employee to more valuable work, improving both safety and operational efficiency. With Formic's 24/7 support and uptime guarantee, the company plans to expand its automation efforts.
