Cargill to invest nearly €20m in facilities in Germany

Rebecca Prescott8 Feb 2012

Cargill has unveiled plans to invest close to €20m in its newly acquired cocoa and chocolate facilities in Berlin, Germany.

This investment will enable Cargill to upgrade, strengthen and expand its cocoa and chocolate capabilities in Germany in order to offer customers superior choice, quality and market reach.

Cargill plans to upgrade both production sites – based in Lichtenrade and Reinickendorf in Berlin – which will increase the capacities of specific product lines and strengthen its ability to provide a high quality cocoa and chocolate portfolio. These expansions will also enable the efficient integration within Cargill’s global network and optimise product flows to customers.

Jos De Loor, managing director, Cargill Cocoa & Chocolate, said: “This investment highlights Cargill’s ongoing commitment to helping our customers meet the growing consumer demand for chocolate particularly in Germany and Eastern Europe.

“By upgrading, expanding and integrating these two production sites into our wider cocoa and chocolate network, we are better placed to serve our customers and seamlessly provide them with the best quality product from the most appropriate site.”
