KeyChoc was originally a division of Keylink Ltd., but has been and independent company since 2010. Keylink, now our sister company, has been a leading supplier in the chocolate industry for over 50 years, providing chocolate, ingredients, packaging and accessories to chocolatiers.

In 2010 we established SEMMco as a joint venture chocolate machinery manufacturing company based in Sheyang Province in China. Whilst much of our design and precision engineering continued to be carried out in the UK, SEMMco allowed us to widen our manufacturing base to include the production of larger machinery, ranging from melting tanks and cooling tunnels to coating and polishing machines.

In 2017 we decided to to move all our manufacturing back to the UK and we no longer make anything in China.

KeyChoc is the official machinery partner of the Barry Callebaut UK Academy and has become a trusted partner for artisan and industrial chocolate producers throughout the UK and in many other countries around the world.
