The Barry Callebaut Group, the world’s leading manufacturer of high-quality chocolate and cocoa products, is expanding its North American presence by building a new specialty chocolate factory in Ontario, Canada. Expected to be operational by 2024, it will focus on manufacturing sugar-free chocolate, high-protein, and other specialty products to meet increasing customer demand.
The new state-of-the-art factory is planned to have an initial annual production capacity of over 50,000 tonnes. Total investment volume over a period of 10 years is projected to amount to $104 million. The company expects to create over 200 new jobs to staff the new facility, which also help support the strategic supply partnership between Barry Callebaut and Hershey, under which, Barry Callebaut supplies Hershey’s North American business with liquid chocolate and finished products.
