These pieces of equipment are built to optimize labor, increase productivity and increase product yields – ultimately driving bottom line profits!

Director of Business Development at DSE Maxwell Krieger says, “No matter where you are located, you are likely feeling the tight labor market. Skilled & unskilled workers are in short supply and when you do find them the labor cost is at a premium. The most efficient way to combat this is to look towards automation and optimizing the productivity of the staff you currently have. We can help peel some of those costs away!”

Dark Side Equipment was established in 2020 prior to the COVID pandemic with a focus on peeling and processing equipment for the restaurant and food production industry. There seemed to be a gap in the market between large scale production peeling equipment that can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars and unreliable noncommercial units that are manually operated. Dark Side Equipment entered the market offering equipment and solutions for operations that found themselves looking for ways to increase production ability without breaking budgets.  We represent several international brands with the niche focus on peeling and processing including Mossur Machine (Butternut Squash), NILMA (Onions & Garlic), Kronen (Apples), Mr.Peely (Carrots & Cucumbers) & Robot Coupe.

Dark Side Equipment is in Denver Colorado and covers North & South American sales. www.DarkSideEquipment.com
