According to Mr Lang, the ready meals sector continues to be buoyant but the main growth area has been in bakery (including sandwiches).
"As we develop new ideas in conjunction with our customers' requirements and suggestions, we take that input into what is a seamless and continuous NPD process.
It is a major function and in the last 12 months we've spent GBP100,000 in development," said Mr Lang.
Turbo Systems has invested heavily in attracting another 12 high calibre staff into positions where they can drive major projects to meet increased demands - taking the total staff count to 79 people.
"The feedback from our customers indicates that high levels of service and a rolling programme of continuous research and development are at the root of continued growth, as many of our customer come back to us again and again," Mr Lang added.
Developed from the highly successful D100 range which were a favourite of many UK companies, the D150 series has been designed with technological improvements that ensure they meet all requirements for the depositing and filling of liquids, creams, semi-solids and particulated products.
