Barry Callebaut facility in Turkey to open in 2013

COCOA and chocolate products manufacturer Barry Callebaut is poised to participate in the growth potential of the Turkish market. The company is building a new plant in Eskisehir at the Central Anatolia region, to be near confectionery customers. Its presence there will help fill the need for high-quality chocolate and chocolate compounds, as well as technical services and innovation. The facility, which opens by mid-2013, will have an initial capacity of 15,000 tonnes and offer 50 new jobs. About CHF 15 million (EUR 12 million/USD 16 million) is being invested in the project.
