What is Probat?
Headquartered in Emmerich am Rhein, Germany, Probat operates as a comprehensive global supplier of machines, plants, and control technology solutions. The group's business is strategically divided into two primary divisions: coffee and cocoa/chocolate. In the coffee segment, Probat centralizes its research, development, and design efforts at its German headquarters, which also houses its main production facility. The company further extends its manufacturing capabilities through subsidiaries in the USA (PROBAT Burns) and Brazil (PROBAT Leogap), which also serve as crucial distribution and service hubs for their respective regions. The cocoa/chocolate division, bolstered by the integration of the Ladco Group, features the unique distinction of being the world's sole supplier capable of providing all necessary components for the entire process chain from cocoa beans to finished chocolate bars. This division includes production facilities operated by Petzholdt-Heidenauer (Germany) and MacIntyre (Scotland), alongside other global distribution and service centers in Italy (Brugger), the Philippines (PROBAT Asia), and India (PROBAT Kaapi).
