Sprinkk

We work with many founders and innovators, from companies both large and small. The common view is...starting something completely new is hard and can take a lot longer than you initially imagine! We're here to help. By operating both a development lab and a flexible manufacturing facility, we make candy innovation a lot faster. ?? Create new things...quicker. www.sprinkk.com

Meet the Team Monday! We are thrilled to introduce our Factory Operations Manager, Pat Schmitz. With over 30 years in manufacturing operations, process engineering, and machine maintenance, Pat brings a wealth of hands-on expertise to the Sprinkk team. He’s adept at everything from programming complex factory machinery to troubleshooting on the spot. Creative, technically minded, brilliant, and kind...he has fit in quickly around here. Having Pat on the team unlocks vast new potential for Sprinkk by allowing us to directly innovate in equipment as well as formulation. With experience as a sales, service, and applications technician as well as a manufacturing processing engineer, Pat’s knowledge runs deep across various production environments. On top of that, he is a genuine JOY to work with, bounce ideas off of, and problem solve with! We are so excited that our current and future clients get to #createnewthings with Pat and the rest of the team! #team #operations #processengineering #innovation #candy #manufacturing

Look who stopped by over the Holidays! Our friend and candy historian, Jason Liebig, also hails from the great state of #Nebraska. We shared a LOT of stories, showed off the lab, tasted candy, and discovered that Tessa and Jason both have career startup stories that are based on a lot of creative grit, wild ideas, and truthfully quite a bit of luck (probably related to persistence) The candy industry has a lot of great people + Nebraska has a lot of great people. When those two categories overlap, incredible friendships are created! What do you say we make this an annual Christmas tradition? #createnewthings #friends #candy

2024 Before & After... In the past 12 months we've: ?? Remodeled a new lab space (entirely) ?? Grown our team by 250% ?? Opened 1 factory for flexible candy manufacturing ?? Produced over 100,000 gummies and chews for our customers to use as trade show samples ?? Launched a new website https://www.sprinkk.com/ ?? Hosted multiple rapid development days with clients on-site ?? And in the last 45 days, ran first production for 2 clients' new brands! ?? ?? Those are clearly the highlights, but 2024 was absolutely our year of growth and putting in the work for the years to come. 2025 is going to be so incredibly SWEET! ?? Cheers and Happy New Year! What will you create this year? #createnewthings #candy #productdevelopment #candyconsultant #newyear #beforeandafter

?? Streamlining Innovation in Candy Development with Sprinkk’s Meltable Gummy Base ?? For years, vendors in the candy industry have relied on using "base" samples to streamline collaboration with customers. (Or making up a somewhat comparable formula from scratch in the lab) At Sprinkk, we understand that ingredient suppliers and technical applications teams excel at pushing the boundaries of creativity and innovation. But we also know that speed and efficiency are key in today's competitive landscape. That’s why we’re thrilled to introduce our Meltable Gummy Base—a ready-to-use, unflavored, uncolored, gelatin gummy starter designed to simplify your development process. Why it matters for your applications team: ?? Standardization: Ensure consistent results by starting with a proven, high-quality base. ?? Speed: Skip the trial-and-error of creating base formulas and focus on flavor and color innovation. ?? Customization: Formulate your best ideas with complete freedom to experiment and showcase the full potential of your ingredients. Let’s make your innovation process smoother, faster, and more impactful! #createnewthings #gummy #gummyformulation #candydevelopment #flavor #color https://lnkd.in/gdfqnG5A

Are you stocked up for National Candy Corn Day tomorrow!? ? ? We'll be snacking on pumpkins and classic corn at the lab. Go get some to be ready to celebrate!? 1 day out from National Candy Corn Day (might want to hurry...) ? #candycorn #createnewthings #7daysofcandycorn

Candy corn is made with 3 depositors depositing the liquid mellowcrème into corn shaped cavities formed in trays of cornstarch. White, then orange, then yellow. The cornstarch is reusable to be reformed batch after batch!? ? Corn on corn on candy corn.? 2 days out from National Candy Corn Day ? #candycorn #createnewthings #candymaking #7daysofcandycorn

Mellowcrème pumpkins tend to feel fresher, even if made on the same day as their corn shaped cousin...? ? It takes time for moisture to migrate out of the candy during the curing process and sometimes a little bit holds strong the very center of the pumpkins due to their size. ? ? 3 days out from National Candy Corn Day #candycorn #createnewthings #candyengineering #7daysofcandycorn
