Barry Callebaut Expands India Footprint with Third Chocolate Factory in Neemrana
Barry Callebaut, the world’s leading chocolate and cocoa producer, has inaugurated its third manufacturing facility in India, representing a significant step towards its long-term growth strategy. The 20,000 sq mt state-of-the-art, greenfield facility in Neemrana’s Ghiloth industrial area, situated just 120 km away from Delhi, is equipped with advanced production lines for chocolate and compound products in all forms and also integrated warehousing.
With this expansion, India has now become the company’s largest chocolate-producing market in the Asia Pacific, Middle East, and Africa (AMEA) region. Underscoring its commitment to local manufacturing and customer proximity, over the last five years, it has invested over INR 500 crore in the country. The new factory will supplement the two existing factories that Barry Callebaut operates in Baramati and its CHOCOLATE ACADEMY™ Center in Mumbai.
Vamsi Mohan Thati, President, AMEA, Barry Callebaut, said, “With our newest facility in India, we are reinforcing our leadership position and deepening our commitment to being the trusted partner to India’s food industry and to customers across the wider AMEA region.” To this, Dhruva Jyoti Sanyal, Managing Director, Barry Callebaut India, added, “This new factory enables us to meet that demand locally, foster innovation, and deepen our partnerships with local food manufacturers and artisans.
