Tunnock's, located near Glasgow, produces approximately 7 million wafer bars and 4.5 million tea cakes annually. The factory's caramel production reaches around 20 tonnes per day, with a dedicated 12-person team responsible for spreading caramel in five layers. While most of the factory is automated, caramel-spreading machines operate overnight, but human workers continue to provide flexibility and use less space. Tunnock's aims to increase output while preserving its traditional practices to remain competitive against larger snack brands.
