Barry Callebaut inaugurates 'The Chocolate Box' in Lokeren, Belgium
'The Chocolate Box' is the world's largest and most sustainable chocolate warehouse.
The Barry Callebaut Group has inaugurated "The Barry Callebaut Chocolate Box," its new Global Distribution Center in Lokeren, Belgium. The Chocolate Box is the world’s largest chocolate warehouse and will be the logistical hub for all packed Belgian chocolate and decorations products, produced in Barry Callebaut’s chocolate factories in Wieze and Halle, Belgium.
The Chocolate Box is the result of a successful partnership between Barry Callebaut, the real estate developer WDP, and the city of Lokeren.

The Chocolate Box increases the efficiency of Barry Callebaut’s global logistics and will allow the Group to serve customers even faster.
