- Barry Callebaut AG manufactures and supplies high-quality cocoa and chocolate products to industrial food manufacturers, chocolatiers, pastry chefs, bakers and caterers worldwide. The company offers a broad portfolio of chocolate products including chocolates, chips, chunks, couverture, fillings, coatings, decorations and inclusions; cocoa products such as cocoa powder, cocoa butter and cocoa mass; specialized ingredients like cacao fruit, nuts, food colorants and beverage solutions; and innovative offerings including ruby chocolate, low-sugar second-generation chocolate and cocoa alternatives such as ChoViva. Barry Callebaut operates through segments encompassing Global Chocolate with sales groups in Western Europe, Central and Eastern Europe, North America, Latin America, and Asia, Middle East and Africa; and Global Cocoa, with over 60 production sites across Europe, Africa, the Americas and Asia, selling in more than 140 countries from its headquarters in Zurich, Switzerland, where it was founded in 1996 through the merger of Cacao Barry and Callebaut. Recent developments include a long-term commercial partnership with Planet A Foods announced in November 2025 to scale ChoViva, a cocoa-free sunflower-based chocolate alternative amid cocoa market volatility; acceleration of growth in Asia highlighted by CEO Peter Feld with a new research and development center in Singapore and product launches targeting China; inauguration of a 600,000-square-foot cocoa bean warehouse in Pasir Gudang, Malaysia with A.P. Moller-Maersk; a €700 million Euro bond issuance in June 2024 and additional CHF600 million refinancing to enhance financial flexibility against high cocoa prices; and operational restructuring in North America involving factory closures and a new facility in Brantford, Ontario, alongside full-year fiscal 2024/25 results showing revenue growth but volume declines in Western markets.
