The investment will pay for the installation of a new liquid chocolate production line at the facility by the end of 2018.
Cargill has invested €12 million in its chocolate production facility in Mouscron, Belgium in response to growing consumer demand for premium chocolate products.
The investment will pay for the installation of a new liquid chocolate production line at the facility by the end of 2018, increasing the company’s ability to produce milk and chocolate products.
Cargill’s Mouscron site processes dark and milk chocolate in both liquid and solid forms for manufacturers of confectionery, biscuits, bakery items, ice-cream and artisanal products.
150 people are currently employed at the site, and the company says that the investment will create an additional ten roles at the facility.
