Tsubaki conveyor chain has enabled Cadbury to significantly increase production on an automated Bindler chocolate moulding plant at the company's Bournville works in Birmingham. The wear characteristics of the chain previously fitted to the machine meant that frequent adjustment was required to maintain accuracy and replacement was required every twelve months. The new Tsubaki chain has been in operation for over six months and has not yet required any adjustment. Maintaining this level of accuracy has also allowed throughput on the machine to be increased, resulting in a production increase of thousands of chocolates per day.

The Bindler machine is a fully integrated chocolate moulding plant, used to produce chocolates with centres such as Roses™, Milk Tray™ and Miniature Heroes™.
