Barry Callebaut expands chocolate manufacturing facility in Singapore

The latest expansion which involves a total investment of USD 18 m includes the installation of a third production line, a chocolate chips/drops molding line and a warehouse.

“This expansion is a strong sign of our commitment to Singapore and the Asia Pacific region,” said Barry Callebaut Group CEO Antoine de Saint-Affrique at the commissioning of the new production and chips line yesterday in Singapore. “We have a growing customer base in Asia Pacific and we are committed to serving these customers with an always greater level of efficiency.’’ The new chocolate chips/drops molding line allows the production of different recipes or product shapes sizes to satisfy a key market requirement. The facility also now houses a 2600 m2 of warehouse space to facilitate quicker and efficient deliveries of its chocolate products due to greater flexibility with stock-holding.
