Nuova Euromec is a family business that was founded in 1952 by Francesco Rizzi, a creative and industrious engineer with years of experience as a plant engineer for a well-known European confectionery manufacturer. While working there, he recognized that many of his firm’s production needs were not being met by existing industry suppliers.
Those three pillars made Nuova Euromec were followed and apply by the second generation of the Rizzi family, through Roberto, Mario, and Ivonne Rizzi who, following their father’s footsteps made Nuova Euromec a solid partner for thousands of confectionery producers worldwide and a well known brand in the confectionery industry for forming and processing solutions of candies, chews, lollipops, and gums.

Our latest-generation seamless chain die sets now offer a final candy appearance that’s virtually identical to that of rotary systems.
here are three main forming systems:
Drop roller system (Cylinder system)
For small-sized candies (under 2g or 12mm), often used to keep a handcrafted look.
Rotary system
Ideal for solid candies or low-filled products; best for continuous runs with minimal shape variation.
Chain system
The most flexible solution. Designed for high-speed production of high-quality, center-filled candies. Enables fast product changeovers and higher filling percentages.
