Thought leadership

Our highly skilled team keeps us at the forefront of the industry – and makes sure our customers are too.

Our vision

PTL was founded with a clear objective: to create high-quality machinery together with our customers. We innovate so you can make better bars and chocolate, faster.

Our history

We’ve been making chocolate and bar manufacturing equipment with our global partners for over 35 years. Our focus is on growing our design expertise, our technological offering and our manufacturing capabilities, but it’s our unique design philosophy that has helped us to grow a sustainable and innovative business. We’re known for our collaborative, adaptable approach, led by a team who cares most about our customers’ specific needs. That passion for innovation and collaboration started with our founder, Jim Halliday.

The PTL team

PTL Machinery team members aren’t just technical experts, they’re also creatives. They look at problems in new ways to add innovation to our long-standing history.

Sustainability

As part of our ongoing commitment to sustainability, a PTL Sustainability committee was formed in 2020.  This group meets regularly to review, discuss, plan, and implement matters relating to Sustainability.  Throughout its history, PTL has had a diverse range of initiatives that address many of the identified sustainability criteria, capturing and formalizing these under the sustainability banner has been a natural – and positive – evolution of this approach.

Innovation matters

From the start, our business was founded on finding better ways of doing things – innovation that solved real problems for our clients.
