Poirrier is the first French person to receive the award.
February 3, 2020
Patrick Poirrier, CEO of the family-owned chocolate manufacturer CÉMOI, is the first French person to receive the ISM Award, presented Feb. 2 during the 50th edition of ISM.
French chocolate manufacturer CEMOI Group has acquired Chris Candies, a Pittsburgh, Penn.-based chocolate company with premium, organic and low-sugar offerings.
The global industrial chocolate market is expected to grow by 3 percent over the next five years, according to a new report by London-based research firm Technavio.
Just Born Quality Confections and Cémoi Inc. New York, a subsidiary of CEMOI Group of Perpignan, France, are partnering to expand the French chocolate products to the United States.
Though the Ivory Coast has been the home to a Cemoi factory for 20 years and the world’s largest cocoa producers, local Ivorians have not had much access to the final product until recent years.
