Production Process

The entire production process of Cabrellon Srl is carried out in Italy, at our facility in Vicenza, where experience, advanced technology, and rigorous quality control work in full synergy.

Each mold is developed through a design-driven approach in which aesthetics and functionality are carefully balanced from the very first stages of the workflow. From concept development to final production, every step is fully managed in-house to ensure precision, consistency, and long-term reliability. 

A flexible yet highly structured organization enables us to respond effectively to diverse requirements while maintaining consistently high production standards and a strong customer-centric approach. Every Cabrellon mold is the result of a 100% Made in Italy process, engineered for performance and designed to enhance the value of the final product.

Through the use of state-of-the-art technologies and a strongly innovation-driven mindset, we deliver, reliable and high-performance solutions.

A unique production process, perfected in-house over 60 years, delivering flexibility, quality, and uncompromising performance.

The stages of
the production process

Cavity Design and Development

The Product Design and Development process starts with a thorough analysis of the client’s technical and production requirements.

In parallel with technical constraints, we explore geometries and creative solutions to transform each idea into a feasible, production-ready concept.

We develop and optimize shapes, volumes, and functional parameters to ensure maximum cavity efficiency and performance. Once the design is approved, we manufacture a single-cavity prototype.

This enables the client to physically evaluate shape accuracy, fine details, and final product rendering.

Mold Engineering & Tooling

Following approval of the prototypes/single-cavity samples, the mold engineering phase is initiated.

Client production requirements are thoroughly analyzed, and the final mold design is developed through advanced 3D engineering, molding simulations, and process validation.

Moldflow analysis
Structural analysis

The process is completed upon formal approval of the final design by the client.

At this point, tooling engineering begins, together with the development of all dedicated equipment required for mold manufacturing.

Tooling Manufacturing

Zero outsourcing: all tooling and components are fully manufactured in-house.

This capability is supported by our advanced machine park, consisting of 14 CNC milling machines, ranging from compact high-precision units for complex geometries to large-scale systems dedicated to full tooling

24/7 production cycles

This structure ensures maximum process control, consistent quality, and significantly reduced lead times.

Mold Production

The molding department, the core of our organization, operates with 11 injection molding machines, representing the largest machine park among manufacturers of molds for the confectionery industry.

The department is structured into two dedicated production areas: one focused on small-medium format molds, and the other on large and extra-large formats.

This setup enables us to fulfill a wide range of customer requirements while optimizing production lead times, even for high-volume orders.

Quality Control

Quality control is implemented at every stage of the production process.

Special emphasis is placed on the molding phase, enabling full end-to-end process control and ensuring that every mold set complies with the required technical specifications.

The quality control workflow is structured as follows:

Prior to production, the tooling is tested and a sample mold is produced for validation.

Our quality team performs the following inspections:

Visual inspection of cavity surface quality and aesthetic conformity
Structural analysis of all components (pins, ribs, mold thickness, magnet housings, etc.)
Dimensional measurement and tolerance verification

Only after full compliance with our quality standards is achieved does mass production begin.

During production, quality control is continuously maintained through:

Ongoing visual inspection by operators
Scheduled sampling inspections to verify dimensional tolerances

All measurements are performed using a CMM (Coordinate Measuring Machine).
Upon request, a detailed dimensional inspection report can be provided at the end of production.
