A new player has entered the global chocolate market after Barry Callebaut has sold its final consumer goods factory, based in France.
Five industry managers have come together to purchase Callebauts plant in Dijon, France and have formed a new chocolate firm: Chocolaterie de Bourgogne.
The divestment allows Callebaut to avoid competition with its customers and focus only on business-to-business sales. A new separate entity will now compete in the consumer goods space.
