Take control of your production, from start to finish. For example, if you are a pastry chef, you can make the packaging or molds into which you pour the chocolate yourself. If you are a large-scale manufacturer, you can produce endurance parts much faster and you can test on site whether a given prototype has the right parameters to enter mass production.
