$$$GNGR$$$ READ UPDATE Sunday December 15th 2013
I am pleased to announce that we are on the last round of technical changes to the VORTEX 100 (our first in a series of 10 new machines to be introduced to the market in 2014) We moved the test to next week after a significant change to part of the design. The Vortex Launch will be a really big deal for the confection, soap, candle and food industry and an even bigger deal for GNGR.
I want to also make clear that we are still in full production of chocolates and fudge and other items. Working on the machine took a lot of time but did not interfere with our company move or production.
Creating the Vortex 100 (which had no name until last week) was a design I created for my personal use only, and to increase Got Chocolates own production. One question I had asked to me was:
"why offer that technology to other confection makers and create more competition"
The answer is as simple as watching the movie "The River", with Mel Gibson and Sissy Spacek. It was a move about a family that grew corn as did thousands of other farmers but many lost their farms and some were able to hold on. In the movie the farmers all got together at the end to stop the river from overflowing and they used bulldozers and tractors to keep the walls up. Those tractors all said JOHN DEER on them. Weather the farmers production was small or large or weather they were a successful farm or a loosing farm, they all had one thing in common, They all used specific equipment from one manufacturer.
It dawned on me that I will never be able to be the only company selling chocolates (and I never thought that) same as there would never be only one corn farmer, and even if we sold our Vortex machines to smaller or larger competitors, we would still not be able to tap into their markets because some make only one item for specific markets (like we do with chocolate oysters)
My decision was similar to the movie "The River", sell needed equipment to all the small, medium and large chocolate producers just like John Deer does when they sell tractors to farmers. The difference is, Our VORTEX machines will make the successful small chocolate company more money and also make the break even or loosing chocolate company into a profitable company.
Tractors are only as good as the farmer but the VORTEX makes the average chocolatier into a successful chocolatier. Our machines are not a convenience, they are the deal breaker between failure and success.
Small to medium chocolate producers will still produce and never enter our market and vice versa, but offering a machine like ours to that market can be a significant step towards our company becoming the confection production standard machines (same as John Deer did with tractors to farmers)
I will release a national PR when the machine is set up and we produce the finished promotional video which will air on our website, You tube, uploaded on 10 distributors web sites, sent to the media and at the upcoming food equipment shows in 2014.
By the second month of 2014 we should have the Vortex 30 and Vortex 50 in full production and the Vortex Cooling Units available for purchase.
Got Chocolates will be using 4 Vortex machines in our production facility.
We are looking into leasing and finance of our equipment to buyers.
