Our Heritage
With 30 years of industry leadership, Tanis continues to thrive as a family-driven business, with our second generation now fully at the helm to lead us into the future. We combine decades of heritage with a fresh, innovative mindset to ensure your production always stays ahead.
From family confectionery kitchens to complete production solutions.
Tanis was founded in 1995 by Leo and Rene Tanis, building on 20 years of hands-on experience in confectionery engineering. Initially specializing in kitchen processing equipment for a wide range of candies, from chews to nougat, we evolved our expertise in 2014. Since then, we have focused on delivering complete, high-performance production lines, specifically engineered for the gummy and jelly market.
