Daroink LLC is a confectionary company offering high-quality products at the local market.
After opening in 1998, the company wasted no opportunity to deliver a wide variety of goods and expand its regional distribution. Within a few years, its products have become well known. In 2003, Daroink was among the few enterprises to be recognised by the government for its high-quality goods. In addition, the company was the recipient of the International Quality Gold Star awarded by the Board of Business Initiative Directions in Geneva.
In 2004, the company installed four electric ovens for the production of flour-based confectionery. By 2021, these ovens became outdated. This time, Daroink chose high-performance rotating rack ovens with a gas backburner and a heat exchanger with forced air circulation from an Italian producer. The versatility of the ovens makes the units ideal for small and medium-sized pastries. The hot air, combined with the rotating rack and controlled steam input makes even baking possible. The large amount of steam produced during the baking process gives the pastries a homogenous crust and excellent texture. The structure and combination of the components minimise the heat loss and optimise the energy consumption. As a result, the US$ 97,200 investment brings significant improvement in the production processes and the output quality. It has a payback period of two years and contributes to a reduction of 41 tonnes of CO2 emissions per year.
“It’s easy to continuously pursue high performance when your employees are detail-oriented, the distribution is client-centric and the management team is keen on innovation. In our view, the new ovens add value and keep us efficient,” affirms Mr Afrikyan, Director.
