The Barry Callebaut Group expands its Singapore facility with US$18 million that consists of the installation of a third production line, a chocolate chips/drops molding line and a warehouse.
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 sqm of warehouse space to facilitate quicker and efficient deliveries of its chocolate products due to greater flexibility with stock-holding.
The majority of the chocolate produced in the factory in Singapore is largely exported to global and local food manufacturers across the region.
The manufacturing plant, located on a 1.2-hectare site in Senoko South Road near Woodlands, is also the first industrial chocolate factory in Singapore.
Barry Callebaut’s presence in Singapore traces back to July 1997 when the company chose Singapore as its headquarters to reach out to the rest of the Asia Pacific region.
Besides the three lines for chocolate manufacturing, the facility also houses a chocolate academy which test and develop new chocolate products and recipes, as well as help us with training and demonstrations for chocolate artisans, pastry chefs, confectioners, bakers and caterers.
