Puratos’ Belcolade facility expands, become world’s first carbon-neutral chocolate factory
The Puratos Group has announced that it has begun a major expansion at its Belcolade facility in Erembodegem, Belgium.
As well as significantly increasing capacity and boosting flexibility to better serve customers worldwide, the expanded Erembodegem site will enable accelerated innovation. Importantly, it will also be an “exemplar of sustainable chocolate production,” according to Jean-Philippe Michaux, CFO and head of the sustainability steering committee at Puratos. Upon completion of the first phase in 2023, Belcolade will be reconfirmed as the chocolate of choice for chocolatiers, pâtissiers, and bakers.
