The focus of our Research and Development department is you and your ideas! We use our industry knowledge to turn your idea into a consumer ready product.
Primrose has a designated lab for making candy which includes down scaled production equipment.
Our R&D process starts with your idea! From there we make our first sample to test the flavor, color and texture. Once you approve a sample, we move forward to creating a finished piece so you can see how the product looks when it is wrapped. Moving forward we run a pilot batch of the product. After an approval from this step, the product is ready to go into production.
