Our processing equipment is manufactured by Afrem International, a French company that specializes in pasta and couscous equipment.  The same equipment is used throughout the world by the premier couscous manufacturers.  In 1997 we installed another processing line, also made by Afrem, that more than doubled our annual capacity to approximently 25 million pounds.  Highly automated, the processing is run by one operator and the packaging is done by another.  We operate 24 hours a day with a total of six operators.
