Barry Callebaut to open new specialty chocolate factory in Ontario

Barry Callebaut picks Brantford, Ont., for their new chocolate factory.

Earlier this year the company announced plans to invest USD104 million in the new plant which will include both office space for corporate operations and chocolate processing.

The plant will focus on sugar-free, high protein, and other specialty chocolate products.

The new operation is the first new factory for Barry Callebaut in North America since 2008 and is expected to bring more than 200 jobs to Canada.
