Barry Callebaut
The Barry Callebaut Group, based in Zurich, Switzerland, is the world's largest manufacturer of high-quality chocolate and cocoa products, mastering every stage of the value chain from raw material procurement to the creation of the best chocolates. They are the chocolate industry's heart and soul, and their goal is to be number one in all appealing client categories. They are a B2B company that is fully vertically integrated and has a strong presence in cocoa-producing countries as well as a distinctive global reach. They are experts in all aspects of chocolate and cocoa production, from sourcing and processing cocoa beans to creating the finest chocolates, including chocolate fillings, decorations, and compounds. Barry Callebaut's premium chocolate products, as well as its convenient, ready-to-use and ready-to-sell products supplied under a range of gourmet brands, are trusted by professional users such as chocolatiers, pastry chefs, bakeries, hotels, restaurants, and caterers. From worldwide and local food manufacturers to artisanal and professional chocolate users including chocolatiers, pastry chefs, bakers, hotels, restaurants, and caterers, the Barry Callebaut Group services the whole food sector. They can give clients with high-value products and services that are tailored to specific market needs, and they can do it ahead of the curve and at a competitive price. Because they do not own any cocoa plants, they obtain their most essential raw material, the cocoa bean, directly from cooperatives, intermediaries, and government entities in cocoa-producing countries. For a substantial portion of our business, they adopt a cost-plus pricing model that passes on raw material prices directly to their customers in order to adapt price changes in raw materials. Barry Callebaut's ‘smart growth' strategy will continue to seek for a wise balance between sustained, above-market volume growth and improved profitability.
