The new facility will enable the company to continue to produce at an increased capacity to meet growing consumer and market demand.
“As a leader in the premium chocolate category, Lindt is constantly looking for ways to support continued growth and maintain strong company distribution,” said Thomas Linemayr, president and CEO of Lindt US. “The investment in this warehouse facility is another step for Lindt toward meeting the growing demand for premium chocolate.”
Over the coming months, the new facility will be updated to meet company needs and is expected to be operating as a warehouse and distribution centre in early 2015. Construction of the retail store will be part of the second phase of facility updates and is also expected to be open to consumers in early 2015.
With the acquisition of the new space in Carlisle, Lindt now operates three warehouse facilities throughout the US, including the storage and warehouse capabilities on the Stratham campus.
